    Summary The court acquitted the defendant (Arjunan) of charges under Sections 185 and 181 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment noted critical gaps in the evidence, including the absence of a Breath Analyzer test, inconsistencies in witness timings (7:00 AM vs. 9:30 AM vs. 10:30 PM), and lack of proper medical/scientific documentation of alcohol consumption, resulting in the defendant's release under Section 278(1) of the CrPC.
