    Summary The court acquitted the accused in both Special Criminal Cases 71/2024 and 112/2025, finding insufficient evidence to prove charges under IPC Section 379 (theft) and Section 21(4) of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957. The court determined that the accused's conduct in transporting M-sand without government authorization lacked the necessary criminal intent and evidentiary support to establish culpability beyond reasonable doubt, thus ordering their acquittal under CrPC Section 235(1).
