State vs raghunath — 247/2021

Case Summary: State v. Raghunath Singh (CIS No. 247/2021) The court acquitted Raghunath Singh of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (causing death by negligence) in a fatal traffic accident on January 22, 2020. While the evidence conclusively established that truck number RE 06 JI 5584 caused the accident resulting in the death of Surajnan, the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was the truck's driver at the time of the incident. The court found that eyewitnesses could not positively identify the accused as the driver, fatally weakening the prosecution's case.
