Case Summary: 117/2022 Court Decision: The court acquitted defendant Nagaraj of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 304(A) (causing death by negligence). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant's reckless driving caused the fatal accident on May 15, 2020, in Sulaikiri. Key eyewitnesses (PW4 and PW5) admitted arriving at the accident scene after the incident occurred, undermining their credibility as direct observers. The court determined insufficient reliable evidence established the defendant's culpability. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
