Inspector of Police, Poombukar vs Kalaidoss — 227/2025

Summary The District Magistrate Court in Tarangambadi acquitted both defendants of charges under IPC Sections 294(b), 324, and 506(ii) (abusive language, causing hurt, and criminal intimidation). The court found that the prosecution witnesses, particularly the complainant (witness 1), gave contradictory testimony—initially claiming specific injuries from a stone attack but later admitting uncertainty about the attackers' identities and that he filed a false complaint. Since the government's case rested on unreliable witness testimony and lacked corroborating evidence, the court ruled that the charges were not proven beyond reasonable doubt and discharged the defendants under Section 271(1) BNSS.
