    Summary The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad) dismissed the State's appeal challenging the acquittal of Sachin Choudhari in a murder case involving his wife Ashwini's death. The court found the prosecution's case highly doubtful, noting the pathologist initially reserved opinion on cause of death, subsequently claiming asphyxia by throttling without proper explanation. The court held that medical evidence lacked injuries consistent with throttling and that prosecution witnesses (the deceased's parents) made material contradictions and improvements in testimony. The accused's sound financial background and the implausibly small dowry demand (₹50,000) further weakened the case, leading the court to uphold the acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
