Final Orders / Judgements
The court acquitted Meganathan of theft charges under Section 379 IPC, finding that the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Key factors in the acquittal were contradictions in the victim's complaint (which omitted description of the accused despite claiming to have seen him), and crucial deficiencies in the confession statement witnesses' testimony—both stated they never actually saw the accused present during the confession recording and seizure proceedings, undermining the prosecution's case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
