Court acquits driver in fatal accident case
Ahmedabad: A sessions court overturned the conviction of Mohit Darji, who had earlier been sentenced to one-year imprisonment for rash and negligent driving that caused the death of one of the passengers in the car he was driving. The accident took place near SP Ring Road on Sep 23, 2015, when Darji was driving the car at high speed and hit a pole near the divider. The car turned turtle, and Darji's friends, Urvi and Devanshi, were injured. Darji was booked for rash and negligent driving under BNS and the Motor Vehicles Act. Urvi succumbed to her injuries, and Darji was accused of causing death by negligence under Section 304A of BNS. A JMFC court found Darji guilty and punished him with one-year imprisonment in March 2023. He challenged his conviction before a sessions court. His advocate, Vivek Bhamare, argued that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Darji was driving negligently.

The court stated, "It is very much clear that though the complainant and other witnesses have deposed that the appellant-accused was driving the vehicle at fast speed, yet, there is no direct evidence which connects the accused with the crime and also rashness and negligent driving on the part of the accused-appellant is not proved beyond reasonable doubt and under these circumstances, the benefit of doubt should go to the accused.

Kolkata East-West Metro: Work done, KMRC starts sealing 98-ft TBM shafts
1 2 3 Kolkata: KMRC has started sealing the last openings to the twin East-West Metro tunnels. The 98-feet deep shafts at the Esplanade metro station were built to launch the giant tunnel borers, Chundi and Urvi, in Jan-Feb 2019. A shaft is a vertical pathway that provides access to underground tunnels. Normally, metro shafts are closed months before the third rail (carrying electricity) is laid to prevent electrocution. Contractors ITD-ITD Cementation, which has built the last 2.6 km Esplanade-Sealdah leg of East-West Metro, took enormous risks to accommodate the drastic change in work sequence, allowing civil construction (tracks, pipelines, electric cabling, signalling work, etc) and train trials to proceed simultaneously and prevent further delay of the project. On Thursday, TOI sneaked a peek behind the cardboard partition that hides the 30m deep shafts from the East-West Metro's Esplanade station's functional area. The work will be over by July, said officials of KMRC, the implementing agency of East-West Metro, which is now veering toward its full 16.6 km run from Sector V to Howrah Maidan. The Esplanade-Sealdah section — the missing link between Sector V-Sealdah and Esplanade-Howrah Maidan — is finally ready for revenue operations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Ever since PM Modi inaugurated the 4.8km Esplanade-Howrah Maidan section (India's first under-river Metro), in March last year, the two shafts, one measuring 5.6mX4m to allow access to the west-bound or Howrah-bound tunnel, and another 3.1m-square opening for the eastbound or Sector V-bound tunnel, have been taking workers to the unfinished Esplanade-Sealdah section. The west-bound shaft was reduced from 10.5mX10.5m to its current size to make the subway linking East-West and North-South lines at Esplanade station more spacious. The shaft closure involves construction of four slabs to cover each of the twin tunnels. The east-bound shaft has two are hatch covers (steel structures through which tunnels can be accessed during emergencies) and two concrete covers. The west-bound shaft will have one hatch cover and three concrete slab covers. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages , and quotes !
