state vs Mosam Khan Advocate - Rajkumar yadav — 166/2015

Case Summary: Case 166/2015 Court Decision: The accused Mosam Khan was acquitted of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (causing death by negligence) on 16-03-2026. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: Despite the prosecution's allegations that Mosam Khan recklessly drove a tempo (vehicle RJ 02 UA 3163) at high speed on 30-04-2015, causing the death of Mukesh, the court determined that prosecution witnesses—identified as eyewitnesses—contradicted themselves during cross-examination. No witness could conclusively confirm that the vehicle number was RJ 02 UA 3163 or that Mosam Khan was the driver. Additionally, the complainant failed to appear despite repeated court summons. The court applied the benefit of doubt to the accused, finding insufficient evidence to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
