State Government by the Inspector of Police, Thanjavur South Police Station vs Bhuvaneshwaran — 344/2024

The Principal Sessions Judge of Thanjavur acquitted Bhuvaneswaran (8th accused) of charges including rioting with dangerous weapons, abetment of murder, attempted murder, and causing grievous injury, finding insufficient evidence to prove his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted that while co-accused in related cases were acquitted and eyewitnesses turned hostile, the evidence against the accused was inseparable and indivisible from that against his co-accused, warranting his acquittal under the established legal principle that remaining accused cannot be treated differently when evidence is shared.
