    The Judicial Magistrate Court, Sulur acquitted both accused Mahalingam and Ananthakumar of charges under IPC sections 294(b), 323, 324, and 506(i) (abusive language, hurt, and criminal intimidation) in a 2015 assault case. The key reason was that the primary witness (PW1) turned hostile during cross-examination, recanting his allegations and admitting the injuries resulted from an accidental fall; additionally, the parties reached an amicable settlement, collapsing the prosecution's foundation and failing to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
