Section 304A IPC | Prosecution Must Prove Culpable Negligence Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Karnataka HC Acquits in Rash Driving Death Case

Karnataka High Court upholds acquittal under Sections 279, 337, 338, and 304A IPC, ruling that unreliable eyewitness testimony and lack of independent corroboration fail to establish culpable negligence. The judgment reinforces that mere rash driving allegations are insufficient without conclusive proof of criminal intent or recklessness.
