Final Orders / Judgements
Court Decision Summary The District & Additional Sessions Judge at Nalanda, Bihar acquitted both accused (Dayanand Prasad and Dharmendra Shukla) of charges under IPC Sections 364 (kidnapping with intent to murder) and 120(B) (criminal conspiracy) for lack of evidence. The court found that the prosecution presented only two witnesses—one providing insufficient concrete proof of kidnapping and the other turning hostile—while crucial witnesses including the victim's parents and investigating officer remained unexamined, leaving the case virtually without evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
