JudgmentView PDF
The court acquitted all three accused—Suryamani Devi, Shila Devi, and Ranjit Kumar alias Ranjit Singh—of charges under IPC sections 304-B (causing death by negligence), 302 (murder), and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) on May 18, 2026. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish sufficient evidence that the accused tortured the victim (Gudiya Devi) or caused her death; all five prosecution witnesses testified that her death resulted from post-childbirth complications and illness rather than abuse, and no direct or circumstantial evidence proved the accused guilty of the alleged dowry-related homicide.
