    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: Case 325/2021 Court Decision: The court acquitted defendant Nitesh Ajabrao Charde of charges under Indian Penal Code Section 269 (negligently spreading infection of disease). The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused deliberately or negligently spread COVID-19 by not wearing a mask on May 21, 2021, as alleged. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient, particularly noting that the crucial panchnama (scene inspection) witness could not corroborate the allegations and other independent witnesses were never examined despite opportunities. Applying the principle that benefit of doubt favors the accused, the court ordered his acquittal and cancellation of bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
