    Summary The Principal District Court of Chennai acquitted the accused in both cases (Special Criminal Cases 56/2024 and 57/2024) and discharged him under IPC Section 235(1). The court found that while the accused was charged with violating Section 379 IPC (theft) and Section 21(4) of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 for allegedly transporting sand without government permission, the prosecution failed to establish sufficient evidence of criminality due to procedural lapses, inconsistencies in witness statements, and lack of proper documentation regarding the seized vehicles and materials.
