    Case Summary: 171/2024 Court Decision: The District Magistrate (Criminal) acquitted defendant Rajivkumar under IPC Sections 279 and 304(A), finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt despite circumstantial evidence of a motorcycle accident causing the victim's death. Key Reasoning: Although the victim suffered injuries from being hit by a motorcycle (bearing number TN 25 BB 0004) on 06.08.2017 and subsequently died, the court found that eyewitnesses (PWs 2-3) could not identify the defendant as the rider, and critical evidence connecting the defendant to the accident remained unproven. The court applied the benefit of doubt principle, discharging the accused under Section 255(1) CrPC. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
