SI OF POLICE ALANGAYAM PS vs ELUMALAI — 33/2026

Court Decision Summary The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Tirupathur acquitted all four accused (A1-A4) of charges under IPC sections 379 (theft) and 511 (attempt to commit an offence), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: the complainant could not identify the accused, key eyewitnesses forgot the incident, the stolen Vinayagar statue was never produced in court, and witnesses to the confession statement disowned their involvement, rendering the prosecution's evidence insufficient to establish guilt.
