    The Judicial Magistrate Court in Sulur acquitted Mr. Varatharajan of charges under IPC Sections 287 and 338 (negligence causing grievous hurt), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused directly instructed an inexperienced worker to operate machinery resulting in the victim's hand amputation. Key factors in the acquittal were: unexplained 105-day delay in filing the complaint, lack of documentary evidence establishing the accused's direct involvement, and conflicting witness testimony regarding who instructed the victim to operate the machine.
