Summary The Judicial Magistrate court in Thirumankalm acquitted all six accused individuals in a rioting and assault case (Crime No. 110/2023). The court found that while the prosecution witnesses testified about an incident on July 11, 2023 involving beating and threats, the state failed to establish direct evidence linking the accused to the alleged crimes beyond reasonable doubt. Applying the principle that benefit of doubt must favor the accused, the judge discharged them under IPC Sections 147, 294(b), 323, 324, 506(2) and other relevant provisions.
