State rep. by the Inspector of Police, Thiruvaiyaru Police Station vs Thulasi Alais Thulasiraman Advocate - J.Manikandan — 193/2025

The Principal Sessions Judge of Thanjavur acquitted accused Thulasi of all charges under Section 25(1A) of the Arms Act, 1959, and Sections 294(b) and 506(ii) of the IPC, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court identified critical deficiencies: the seizure mahazar lacked the accused's signature and was prepared before case registration, no independent witnesses were examined despite their presence at the scene, and the prosecution failed to produce government notification establishing the sword as a prohibited weapon. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
