    JudgmentView PDF

    The court acquitted all three accused of charges under IPC sections 504 (insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 354-B (disrobing), and 506 (criminal intimidation) because the prosecution's key witnesses—including the complainant, victim, and eyewitnesses—completely retracted their statements and failed to support the case. Without credible direct evidence of the alleged abusive incident, the court found the prosecution unable to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
