Final Orders / Judgements
The Judicial Magistrate acquitted Gajanan Panditrao Savadkar of charges under IPC sections 279 and 337 (rash/negligent driving causing injury) in a July 2019 ST bus accident near Bibkheda that injured 23 passengers. The court found the prosecution failed to prove rash or negligent driving beyond reasonable doubt—no eyewitnesses testified, key witnesses (conductor, injured passengers) weren't examined, and no evidence showed excessive speed or improper care despite road construction conditions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
