Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: 100044/2018 Court's Decision: The court acquitted Saravanan of charges under IPC sections 279 (rash driving), 337 (causing hurt), and 304A (death by negligence). While the court acknowledged that a fatal accident occurred on February 4, 2018, involving Saravanan's vehicle hitting a two-wheeler ridden by deceased Koteeswaran, it found insufficient evidence of rash or negligent driving to convict beyond reasonable doubt. Key evidentiary gaps included lack of proof that Saravanan was driving rashly/negligently, uncertainty about whether the victim signaled a turn, and the victim lacking a valid driving license. The court invoked the principle of benefit of doubt in favor of the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
