    Case Summary: 62/2020 Court Decision: The court acquitted both accused (Seik Farith and Pitchai Moideen) of theft charges under IPC Section 379. While the prosecution established that a gold chain (~5.5 pounds, valued ₹82,500) was stolen on 27.07.2019, the court found reasonable doubt regarding the accused's guilt due to inconsistencies in confessional statements and insufficient corroborating evidence linking them to the crime. Key Reasoning: The investigating officer's testimony contained contradictions about when the accused confessed and how recovered items were documented. The accused's confessional statements lacked independent verification, and no eyewitness directly identified them. Applying the principle that benefit of doubt favors the accused, the court ordered their release under CrPC 248(1).
