Appasaheb alias Appasha Bandichode vs The State Of Maharashtra Through-D.G.P. Solapur — 9/2025

Case Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 09/2025 Court Decision: The Sessions Judge acquitted all four appellants of charges under IPC Sections 325 and 323 (causing grievous and simple hurt), finding material discrepancies in witness testimony, procedural irregularities, and insufficient corroborating medical evidence to sustain conviction beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court identified serious gaps in the prosecution's case, including contradictory eyewitness accounts regarding who arrived at the incident scene, admissions that the FIR was filed after deliberation to "teach a lesson" to the accused, failure to examine independent witnesses despite 20-25 people present, and a doctor's admission that the injuries could have resulted from a motorcycle fall rather than assault.
