Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: 296/2025 Court Decision: The court acquitted the defendant Selvam of charges under IPC Section 328 and COTPA Act 2003 Section 24(1)(6), finding insufficient proof beyond reasonable doubt. The seized contraband items (Hans-40 and Cool lip-20 pockets) were ordered destroyed post-appeal. Key Reasoning: Despite prosecution witnesses (police officers) testifying to seizure of intoxicating tablets from the accused's residence on 28.12.2021, critical evidentiary gaps undermined the case—including lack of private citizen witnesses, conflicting cross-examination statements from investigating officers, and absence of forensic testing confirming toxicity of seized items. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
