Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Ad-hoc Additional Sessions Judge in Satara acquitted accused Ketan Suresh Pharande of charges under IPC Sections 353 (criminal force against public servant), 379 (theft), and 201 (destruction of evidence). The court found the prosecution's case unreliable, citing unexplained 6-hour delay in FIR filing, inconsistent witness testimony, lack of direct evidence of criminal force, and failure to establish essential ingredients of the alleged offences. The court held that illegal sand transportation falls under special legislation, not general theft provisions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
