Summary The Judicial Magistrate acquitted accused Balbir Singh (@Pintu Singh) of charges under IPC Section 414 (receiving stolen property). The court found the prosecution failed to prove essential ingredients of the offense, as no competent witness established the coal's ownership or stolen nature, the sole prosecution witness had no recollection of the case, no investigating officer testified, and no documentary or scientific evidence corroborated the theft claim. Applying the principle that suspicion cannot replace proof, the court granted the accused the benefit of doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
