Inspector of Police, Sembanarkoil vs PANDIYAN — 238/2025

Summary The District Sessions Court in Tarangambadi acquitted the accused under IPC Section 304-A (causing death by negligence) in a case involving a fatal vehicle collision on March 4, 2020. The court found that while the government witnesses established that a death occurred and injuries were sustained, they failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused drove recklessly or negligently; the government's own witnesses testified they had no knowledge of the incident, and critical eyewitness evidence was compromised. Consequently, the accused was acquitted and released on bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
