Accused has been chargesheet ed for the offences punishable U/Sec.325,504,506,427 r/w. 34 of the Indian Penal Code (for short “IPC”).

MH48F3519, at that time one Activa motorcyclist MH02DY6448 going in front of him fell down from his motorcycle due to the dash given by the vehicle. Thereafter, the motorcyclist abused the informant and his cousin Dipankar Tiwari. Said motorcyclist assaulted the informant by helmet and with hands and also threatened them. When informant's sister Shashi intervened the quarrel, she too assaulted by the motorcyclist by helmet. Therefore, the informant went to Andheri Police station and lodged FIR. As per FIR, Crime No.357/2017 u/s.325,504,506,427 r/w. 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered against the accused.

My Learned Predecessor has framed charge against the accused vide Exh.2 and it read over and explained to accused in vernacular, to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried. His defence is of total denial and false implication. -- 2 of 6 -- 3 Judgment in C. C. No.1580/PW/2018 3. Since no incriminating evidence against accused, therefore statement of accused U/sec. 313 of Criminal Procedure Code stands dispensed with. 4. Following points arise for my determination and I have recorded findings thereon for the reasons discussed herein after : S.NO. POINTS FINDINGS 1 Whether prosecution proves that on 04.07.2017 at about 6.45 pm at Panipat Maidan, Old Nagardas Road, Andheri (E), Mumbai the accused in furtherance of their common intention, voluntarily caused hurt to the informant and witness by helmet and hands and thereby committed an offence punishable U/Sec. 325 r/w Sec.34 of IPC ? ...Not proved 2 Whether prosecution proves that on the above date, time & place, accused in furtherance of their common intention insulted the informant and witness by words and knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause informant to break public peace and thereby committed an offence punishable u/sec. 504 r/w 34 of IPC? ...Not proved -- 3 of 6 -- 4 Judgment in C.

Accused is acquitted R E A S O N S As to points No. 1 to 5: 5. In order to prove guilt of the accused, the prosecution has examined in all two witnesses i.e. P.W. No. 1 Devnarayan Radheshyam Tripathi at Exh.4 and P.W. No.2 Shashi Devnarayan Tripathi. Thereafter, the prosecution filed evidence closed pursis, therefore, evidence of prosecution closed by passing order below Exh.1. 6. P.W. No.1 informant Devnarayan Radheshyam Tripathi is material witness. In his examination in chief, he deposed that incident was occurred in the year 2018 at Gaondhivali, Andheri (E). At that time -- 4 of 6 -- 5 Judgment in C. C. No.1580/PW/2018 he was proceeding towards Vasai to Cooper Hospital by Car. When he reached at Gaondhivali chowk, accused came in front of him. Thereafter, hot exchange of words took place between him and accused, therefore, he went to police station and lodged the report. It is at Exh.5. Witness stated that he didn't know it contents. As the witness not supported the prosecution case, hence Ld. A.P.P. sought the permission to crossexamine him. During his crossexamination, he admitted that, the matter has been settled amongst them out of court and now there is no dispute between him and accused person and he doesn't want to proceed with this matter. 7. P.W. No.2 Shashi Devnarayan Tripathi, witness of the alleged incident. She deposed that she did not know when incident took place. She further deposed that accused did not give any blow on her head with helmet. 8. I have perused the pursis at Exh.7 filed by the informant and accused. It is pertinent to note that, as per the prosecution case, the informant as well as the witness are not supporting to the prosecution, therefore, nothing incriminating evidence came on record against the accused. It is also pertinent to note that from the evidence of prosecution, it appears that the compromise took place between informant and accused, therefore, the prosecution has not examined further evidence in this matter. From the record, it also appears that there are cross cases. Therefore, considering facts and circumstances, I come to the conclusion that prosecution has not proved the case against the accused beyond reasonable doubt, therefore, I answered points No.1 to 4 are in the negative and for answering point No.5, I pass following order : -- 5 of 6 -- 6 Judgment in C.
