Inspector Of Police, Natham PS vs Ranjith — 50/2025

Court Decision Summary The Nattam District Criminal Court acquitted the accused of charges under Sections 281 and 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was driving recklessly or negligently. The court determined that the fatal accident resulted from the deceased's own negligent driving—traveling on the wrong side of a four-lane highway—rather than the accused's actions, and consequently ordered the accused's release under Section 271(1) of the BNSS Act.
