State of Maharashtra Through P S O PS Shirpur vs Aniket Gulab Khillare Advocate - MAGAR SHANKARRAO SAKHARAMJI — 68/2023

Case Summary Case 68/2023 - State of Maharashtra v. Aniket Gulab Khillare & Others Court: First Class Magistrate Court, Malegaon | Judgment Date: June 11, 2026 Decision: All eight accused persons were acquitted of charges under Indian Penal Code sections 143, 147, 323, 504, 506 read with 149 (unlawful assembly, rioting, voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, and related offenses). Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution's two witnesses (the complainant and injured witness) failed to provide credible evidence supporting the charges. Both witnesses lacked clear knowledge of incident details, contradicted the FIR, and gave responses that undermined the prosecution's case. Despite medical certificates confirming injuries, no corroborating evidence established that the accused committed the alleged September 20, 2022 assault in Karanji village. The court concluded insufficient evidence proved guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
