Inspector of Police Uthiramerur Police Station vs sureshkumar S/o Deenadayalan — 56/2025

Case Summary: CC 56/2025 Court Decision: The District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate acquitted Sureshkumar of all charges under IPC Sections 294(b) (obscene language), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 506(ii) (criminal intimidation). The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt after key witnesses turned hostile. Key Reasoning: Although accused was charged with verbally abusing, threatening, and stabbing PW-2 (victim) with broken glass following a drinking incident on 19.02.2024, both the complainant (PW-1) and victim (PW-2) turned hostile during trial. The investigating officer's testimony alone, being documentary in nature, was insufficient to establish guilt. The accused reportedly reached a compromise with the witnesses, and inconsistent evidence made conviction unsafe.
