    Case Summary: CC No. 100/2025 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate acquitted all four accused (Kannan, Pathikaali, Kirukumani, and Supp) of charges under BNS Sections 329(4), 296(b), 118(1), 351(3), and 118(2), finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court determined that two key prosecution witnesses (complainant and witness-2) gave contradictory testimony, claiming no prior dispute existed despite the FIR alleging they trespassed the complainant's home and assaulted him with iron rods and stones on November 1, 2024. The investigating officer's testimony alone was insufficient to establish the charges, particularly given the credibility issues with other witnesses. Consequently, the accused were discharged under BNS Section 271(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
