Case Summary: S.T.C. No. 41/2025 The Judicial Magistrate acquitted accused Arockiya Selvakumar of charges under IPC Sections 279 (rash driving) and 338 (causing hurt by act endangering life), finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: the complainant and eyewitnesses could not identify the accused; key eyewitnesses turned hostile and denied knowing who drove the offending vehicle; mahazar witnesses admitted signing documents without understanding their contents; and the injured person died before trial, eliminating direct testimony. Medical evidence confirmed an accident occurred but could not establish the accused's identity as the driver or prove rash/negligent conduct. The court held that suspicion cannot replace proof in criminal cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
