    Summary The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Dindigul reversed the trial court's conviction of Kasipandi for rash/negligent driving causing death (IPC §279, 337, 304-A). The court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt due to: inconsistent eyewitness testimony (PW1 admitted not facing the road; PW2's account had contradictions and admitted not witnessing rash driving), lack of independent corroboration, procedural delays in FIR forwarding and vehicle inspection, and critically, no eyewitness identified the accused as the bus driver. The conviction was set aside and the accused acquitted with fine refund. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
