Sri Vijaya Puram, Aug 21: Two separate road accident cases in North and Middle Andaman have ended in convictions, with courts in Mayabunder and Rangat imposing a combined fine of ₹19,500 on the accused following police investigations into incidents involving rash and negligent driving.
The convictions were secured in cases investigated by Mayabunder and Rangat police stations, with the respective courts finding the accused liable after prosecution established the cases through evidence collected during investigation.
In the Mayabunder case, the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC), Mayabunder, delivered the judgment on August 5, 2026, in a case registered at Mayabunder police station under FIR No. 22/26 dated February 9, 2026.
The case concerned a road accident allegedly caused by rash and negligent driving that resulted in injuries to the victim. Police said the investigation involved detailed evidence collection and subsequent prosecution before the court.
After the case was established before the court, the accused was convicted and sentenced to pay a total fine of ₹14,000.
The second conviction followed a case registered at Rangat police station under FIR No. 01/26 dated January 5, 2026. The case also related to a road accident caused by rash and negligent driving that left the victim injured.
The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), Mayabunder, delivered the judgment in the Rangat case on August 11, 2026.
According to the police, the Rangat investigation involved systematic collection of evidence and prosecution of the case before the court. The accused was convicted and sentenced to pay a total fine of ₹5,500.
Taken together, the two cases resulted in convictions and fines totalling ₹19,500. Both matters involved road accidents in which victims sustained injuries and were pursued through separate investigations by the local police stations.
The cases also highlight the legal consequences following road accidents attributed to rash and negligent driving, with the police pursuing the matters through investigation and prosecution before the courts.
Mayabunder police established its case through investigation, evidence collection and prosecution, resulting in the August 5 conviction. Rangat police followed a similar process in the case that culminated in the August 11 judgment.
The North and Middle Andaman Police said the convictions reflect their focus on holding those responsible for negligent driving accountable and pursuing justice for victims through investigation and prosecution.
The Mayabunder and Rangat cases were registered separately and resulted in judgments delivered by the JMFC and CJM, Mayabunder, respectively. The two court decisions have therefore brought separate road accident cases involving injuries to victims to conclusion through the judicial process.
The police said the outcomes underscore the importance of professional investigation, systematic evidence collection and effective prosecution in road accident cases involving allegations of rash and negligent driving.
