Court Discharges Nine in 1995 Dacoity Case Due to Untraceable Status
A court has decided to drop charges against nine people accused of robbing a school 30 years ago.
The robbers, who wore masks, entered the school, hurt the watchman, and stole money.
However, the court couldn't find the people accused or any witnesses.
Because the evidence wasn't strong enough and the people couldn't be found, the court decided there wasn't enough reason to continue the case.
A district court discharged nine individuals accused of a 1995 dacoity at a school.
The court cited the accused being untraceable and insufficient evidence as the reasons for discharge.
The FIR was filed against nine individuals for dacoity and wrongful confinement.
The incident involved masked individuals entering Carmel English School, assaulting the watchman, and stealing cash.
The court noted the case's poor record condition and inability to locate witnesses or the accused.
