    Case Summary: C.C. No. 184/2018 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate acquitted bus driver Krishnan under Section 255(1) Cr.P.C., finding him not guilty of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304(A) (causing death by negligence). The court ruled that prosecution witnesses failed to clearly establish evidence identifying the accused or linking him to the alleged fatal bus accident on 22.08.2017. Key Reasoning: The court found that eyewitnesses (PW1, PW2, PW5) did not depose regarding the accused's identity or vehicle registration details; witness PW3 denied his signature on the observation report; and the investigative officer's (PW4) testimony alone, without supporting witness corroboration, was insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the accused received the benefit of doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
