State Represented by Vellichanthai PS vs Sahul Varghees — 328/2025

Court Decision Summary The Judicial Magistrate of Eraniel acquitted the accused Shaul Varghese of charges under Indian Penal Code Section 281 (rash or negligent conduct) in a motor vehicle collision case, finding that the prosecution failed to produce sufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted that the sole eyewitness (complainant) later settled the matter and the prosecution presented only one supporting witness, without adequate corroborating evidence; consequently, the accused was also discharged from charges under Section 125(b) following settlement between parties.
