Copy of Judgment

Case 159/2023 Summary: Truck driver Sakthivel was acquitted of charges under IPC sections 279 (rash driving) and 304(A) (death by negligence) after a fatal collision killed motorcyclist Kalaivanan on December 31, 2022. The court found prosecution failed to prove rash or negligent driving because neither eyewitness testified to actually seeing the accident or the driver's conduct—both only heard the collision sound and arrived afterward. Without eyewitness evidence of how the accident occurred or the accused's negligence, conviction was impossible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
