A Delhi court has acquitted a former DTC bus driver in a 15-year-old rash driving case, stating that conviction cannot be based solely on unreliable testimony.
A former driver of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) has been acquitted by the Patiala House Court in a rash driving case dating back 15 years. The court's decision came after it found the evidence presented to be insufficient for a conviction.
The court emphasized a crucial legal principle: a person cannot be held criminally liable based solely on testimony that is deemed unreliable. This observation highlights the importance of credible evidence in judicial proceedings.
While the specific details of the accident and the nature of the testimony were not elaborated upon in the summary, the ruling underscores the judiciary's commitment to ensuring justice is served only when guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, particularly in older cases where evidence may degrade over time.
