Orders
Case Summary: APEAL/82/2026 The High Court of Bombay at Aurangabad allowed the bail appeals of appellants Lata Dagdu Gaikwad and Pallavi Sachin Kanse, who were charged with abetting the suicide of a hostel student under Sections 107, 108, 115(2) r/w 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and SC/ST Atrocities Act, 1989. The court found prima facie insufficient evidence that the appellants instigated or abetted the deceased's suicide; the charge-sheet merely showed the victim was punished for misconduct (drawing inappropriate marks on hostel walls), not that she was tortured or beaten to the point of instigation. Released on bail with conditions including furnishing Rs. 1,00,000 security bonds, non-tampering with evidence, barring entry to hostel premises, and prohibition from leaving India without court permission. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
