Summary of Court Judgment (S.T.C. No. 945/2022) The Judicial Magistrate of Eraniel acquitted the accused Balthassan of charges under IPC Section 279 (rash/negligent driving) on April 6, 2026, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the government witnesses' testimonies were insufficient and lacked credible evidence—particularly direct testimony that the accused drove recklessly at high speed.
