As per case facts, the complainant, a Scheduled Caste member, was allegedly assaulted by the accused with weapons (causing fractures) and subjected to caste-based abuses for asking them to remove ... cattle from his field. The Special Court acquitted the accused. The State appealed, arguing the evidence proved the accused's involvement, intent to cause death, and caste-based offences. The question arose whether the Special Court erred in its acquittal. Finally, the appellate court found the complainant's evidence doubtful due to contradictions and lack of corroboration. It noted the prosecution failed to prove intent for Section 307 IPC and, for the Atrocities Act, did not provide a caste certificate, and the investigation was improperly conducted. Thus, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the acquittal.
