    Case 610/2025 Summary The court acquitted accused Alaguraja and Arun of charges under Section 25(1A) of the Arms Act, finding that the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Although police testimony indicated the accused were found carrying unauthorized swords (~70cm and ~79cm lengths) on November 3, 2024, the court noted critical evidentiary gaps: no independent civilian witnesses were presented despite the incident occurring in a populated area, police evidence procedures lacked proper documentation, and procedural irregularities undermined case reliability. The court applied the benefit of doubt to the accused and released them under BNSS Section 258(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
