Otteri Police Station vs Parthasarathy — 213/2023

Case 213/2023 Summary: Parthasarathy was acquitted of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304(A) (causing death by negligence) in a 2020 road accident where a two-wheeler rider died after collisions with a car and TATA van. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient, noting that key eyewitnesses failed to identify the accused, describe the alleged vehicle, or establish rash/negligent driving, while witness testimony lacked critical details about the accident location and circumstances. Given the absence of credible evidence linking the accused to the offence, the court granted acquittal under CrPC Section 255(1).
