    Court Decision Summary The Tenkasi Additional District Court acquitted all eight defendants of charges including rioting, criminal intimidation, voluntarily causing hurt, and criminal intimidation under IPC sections 147, 148, 294(b), 307, 323, and 506(2), along with violations under the Tamil Nadu Property Damage and Compensation Act. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the charges beyond reasonable doubt, as key government witnesses (including the complainant) either did not testify consistently with the FIR or claimed lack of knowledge about the alleged Diwali night 2016 incident involving property damage and assault at the complainant's residence.
