    Court Decision Summary The District & Sessions Judge, Karur acquitted accused Vignesh and Pradeep of charges under Section 3(1) of the Tamil Nadu Public Property (Prevention of Damage and Loss) Act, 1992 for allegedly damaging an ATM display panel on 28.10.2023. The court found critical evidentiary gaps: no eyewitnesses to the crime, an unexplained 15-hour delay in filing the complaint, and four crucial prosecution witnesses (PW4-PW7) turning hostile, undermining the seizure and confessional evidence. The court concluded the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, canceling bail bonds and ordering destruction of seized materials after the appeal period.
