Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Narayan Pandurang Suryawanshi (S.C. No. 150/2025) The court acquitted the accused of charges under Section 109 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (attempt to murder) despite evidence confirming a knife attack occurred on September 24, 2025, injuring both the informant and her husband with serious neck wounds. The critical failure was the prosecution's inability to establish the accused's identity as the assailant—all four prosecution witnesses, including the injured victims and eyewitnesses, testified to the incident but explicitly stated they could not identify who committed the assault. The court found that mere circumstantial evidence (immediate arrest, seized weapon, blood-stained clothes) and medical documentation of injuries were insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt without reliable eyewitness identification of the accused.
