    Case 178/2025 Summary Court Decision: The Magistrate Court acquitted all three accused (Selvaraj, Sarasu, and Sankari) of the charges under IPC sections 294(b), 324, 506(ii) and the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt and ordered their release under BNSS section 271(1). Key Reasoning: While the court found contradictions between government witnesses (particularly between the complainant's account and the eye-witness testimony), it determined the prosecution had not established a credible case. The court noted inconsistencies in witness statements and concluded the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction against all three accused persons. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
