Final Orders / Judgements
Court Summary The II Additional District and Sessions Judge in Thanjavur acquitted both accused (Ashok Kumar and Karthik) of charges under Section 296(b) BNS and Section 25(1A) of the Arms Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt due to the absence of independent public witnesses to corroborate the alleged incident of sword-brandishing and obscene language in a public place. The seized swords were ordered destroyed, and the two-wheeler was returned to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
