    Court Decision Summary The Additional Mahila Court in Perambalur acquitted all four accused (Pathiyan, Bakkan, Murugesan, and Mahendiran) of charges under IPC sections 148, 452, 294(b), 323, 324, 506(ii) and the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Harassment of Women Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that the prosecution's witnesses were unreliable, as the two main witnesses (the complainant and an eyewitness) contradicted the government's case and refused to support it, resulting in insufficient evidence to convict the accused of the alleged assault and criminal intimidation on November 30, 2018.
