    Court Decision Summary The Sessions Court of Banka acquitted all four accused persons (Chhathu Mandal, Taniklal Mandal, Maniklal Mandal, and Jogendra Mandal) of murder charges under IPC Sections 302/34 and 201/34. The court found that while the deceased's body was discovered mutilated in a pond, the prosecution's evidence relied solely on the "last seen" doctrine without corroborating forensic evidence, postmortem reports, or investigator testimony. Critical inconsistencies in witness statements regarding the timing of events (3:30 PM vs. 4-5 PM release from jail) created reasonable doubt, making guilt unproven beyond reasonable doubt.
