👉 The term "impugned" in the context of law refers to a situation where an accused person is not able to prove their innocence due to evidence that is circumstantial or insufficient. This can occur if there are inconsistencies between the defendant's statements and the physical evidence presented during trial, or if there are gaps in the prosecution's case against the accused. In such cases, the defense may argue for a mistrial or a retrial to allow further examination of the evidence.
