Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Kunjumon (100444/2017) The Judicial Magistrate acquitted Kunjumon of charges under IPC Section 498A (cruelty by husband toward wife). The victim herself testified that the accused did not subject her to any physical or mental harassment and that the matter was settled between them, making her a hostile witness. Since the vital element of cruelty required for the offense was not established through evidence, the court found the guilt unproven and acquitted the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
