Case Summary State v. Vivajo (Vivjendra) and Radhe | Session Trial No. 236/2019, Mathura Court's Decision: The Additional Sessions Judge acquitted both accused (Vivajo alias Vivjendra and Radhe) of charges under IPC Sections 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), 120B (criminal conspiracy), and 34 (common intention). The court held that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The victim (a watchman named Vasi/Vasudev) was found strangled on July 23, 2012. While the FIR was registered against unknown persons, the investigation later named the two accused. However, the court found that the prosecution's witnesses—including the victim's son (PW1)—explicitly denied during cross-examination that the accused committed the murder. The court noted the absence of direct eyewitness evidence, lack of motive, and failure to establish circumstantial evidence meeting the five-pronged test established in *Sharadachandra v. Maharashtra*. The accused were granted the benefit of doubt and acquitted. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
