Rama chary Rachakonda (Secunderabad/Telangana state Highcourt practice watsapp no.9989324294 )     06 February 2024

Judgment

  • The criminal appeal by appellant allowed and the judgment passed by the Sessions Court is set aside and stands quashed.
  • Section 134 of the Motor Vehicles Act cannot be attracted in the present case.
  • It was not established that the appellant was driving the car.
  • Accused appellant acquitted of all charges

Conclusion:

The Bombay High Court in this controversial case overturned the conviction of the accused actor majorly owing to the fact that the prosecution failed to prove the guilt of the appellant/accused beyond reasonable and that the investigation was conducted in a ‘carelessly fault manner with scant regard to the established procedure laid down by the law’ along with glaring anomalies in the evidence.
