The State of Gujarat filed a criminal appeal under Section 378(1)(3) of the CrPC challenging the acquittal of three accused — Ranubhai Melabhai Bharwad and others — by the 4th Additional Sessions Judge and Special Judge, Nadiad Kheda, in Special (Atrocity) Case No. 25 of 2011. The accused were alleged to have assaulted Hiraben Pashabhai Rohit with wooden sticks and hurled casteist abuses at the complainant's group, who belonged to a Scheduled Caste, while grazing livestock near a tobacco field on 20.11.2009. The prosecution relied on the testimony of the complainant (PW-1), the injured witness (PW-6), two doctors (PW-9 and PW-11), and documentary evidence including the FIR, injury certificates, and a caste certificate. The Trial Court acquitted the accused, finding the prosecution had not proved the charges beyond reasonable doubt, citing material contradictions and inconsistencies in the evidence. The High Court's judgment text as provided does not record a final operative order, as the judgment appears to be cut off before the court's conclusion and decision on the appeal.
