The Sub Inspector of Police, Kavarapettai PS vs Alex A — 315/2025

Summary The District Criminal Court acquitted three accused persons of charges under BNS sections 296(b), 118(1), 351(3) (causing hurt, criminal intimidation, and criminal intimidation with death threat), finding reasonable doubt about whether the alleged assault and threats actually occurred. The court determined that prosecution witnesses, including the complainant and victim, provided inconsistent statements, the investigating officer's testimony lacked credibility regarding evidence collection procedures, and the material facts of the incident remained unproven beyond reasonable doubt. Applying the principle that doubt benefits the accused, the court discharged the defendants and ordered destruction of seized articles after appeal period.
