Si of Police vs Mathiyalagan — 48/2026

The court acquitted the accused Mathiyazagan of charges under sections 296(b) and 127(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that key government witnesses, including the complainant, later reconciled with the accused and withdrew their support for the case, thereby undermining the prosecution's case and requiring the accused's acquittal under Section 278(1) of the BNSS Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
