    Case Summary: Kelambakkam Police Station v. Pandi & Santhosh Kumar (2/2026) The court acquitted the two defendants of charges under IPC Sections 296(b) and 118(1) (wrongful restraint and criminal intimidation). The primary prosecution witness—the injured complainant—testified inconsistently in court, denying the alleged altercation and contradicting his own written complaint, rendering him unreliable. Since the court found the government's evidence insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and applying the principle that the benefit of doubt favors the accused, the defendants were discharged under Section 271(1) CrPC.
