Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: CC 90/2021 Court Decision: The District Criminal Court acquitted respondent Shanmugam of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304(A) (causing death by negligence). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt, as the only eyewitness (PW3) could not identify the vehicle's registration number or driver, and other witnesses were merely hearsay witnesses who heard about the accident secondhand. The court applied the benefit of doubt to the accused and ordered his acquittal under CrPC Section 255(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
