    Case Summary The District Court of Kodumudi acquitted truck driver Sakthivel of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304-A (causing death by negligence) in a May 22, 2023 road accident. The court found that prosecution witnesses' testimony was hearsay and circumstantial, and the eyewitnesses (Witnesses 2 and 3) failed to convincingly prove the accused was driving recklessly or caused the victim's death. The court ruled that the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and benefit of doubt goes to the accused.
