Case Summary: S.C.No.118 of 2025 Accused Acquitted in Dowry Death and Abetment Case The Additional Sessions Judge acquitted Gaurishankar Mahesh Prasad of charges under Sections 80 (dowry death) and 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The prosecution failed to prove that the accused abetted his wife Nishi Kumariya's suicide through dowry-related cruelty. The court found the evidence of alleged unlawful demands vague and unreliable, noting the prosecution did not collect phone records (CDR/SDR) to corroborate claimed communications between deceased and her father, and did not establish that demands constituted "dowry" as legally defined.
