    Judgment

    Court Decision Summary The Additional Sessions Judge acquitted accused persons Upendra Ravidas and Sanjeev Ravidas of charges under IPC sections 304(B), 302, and 201/34 (dowry death and murder). The court found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as four of five witnesses were declared hostile, critical evidence (FIR, postmortem report, investigation officer testimony) was not produced, and the informant himself admitted in cross-examination that no dowry was demanded and the deceased died of electric current—not murder.
