Si Of Police Valparai Ps vs Najeeb, S/o Kunjumakkar — 19/2025

Court Decision Summary The District Court at Valparai acquitted the accused under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for alleged ATM card fraud, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that witness testimonies contained significant contradictions and inconsistencies—particularly regarding the confessional statement's reliability and the chain of custody of recovered materials—making it impossible to establish guilt with certainty. Accordingly, the accused was discharged and released under Section 271(1) BNSS. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
