Case Summary: THE STATE OF GUJARAT v. BATUKBHAI GOVINDBHAI GOSLIYA (2984/2023) Court Decision The Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate, Botad acquitted the accused Batukbhai Govindbhai Gosliya of charges under IPC Sections 354(D) (stalking), 506(2) (criminal intimidation), and 504 (intentional insult). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt despite presenting witness testimonies from the complainant and family members. Key Reasoning The complainant alleged that the accused had harassed her with abusive language, threats of violence, and circulation of intimate photos/videos while pressuring her to continue a prior relationship. However, the court observed critical inconsistencies: the complainant herself did not mention specific abusive words or threats in her statement; the alleged photo/video circulation claim was mentioned only during examination-in-chief but omitted from the FIR; and witnesses could not corroborate these facts. The court emphasized that since the complainant (victim) failed to support the prosecution's case adequately and witnesses only provided general statements without concrete details, no essential ingredient of the charged offenses was proven.
