State of Maharashtra vs Vinod alias Gajanan Pundlik Shejol — 119/2025

Court Decision Summary The Additional Sessions Judge at Buldhana acquitted both accused—Vinod Shejol (41) and Kamal Pundlik Shejol (72)—of charges under Sections 108, 85, and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, in connection with the suicide of Prabhavati. While the court established that suicide occurred, it found insufficient evidence of abetment, cruelty, or instigation by the accused, noting critical gaps including no complaint filed during the victim's lifetime, delayed FIR reporting (4 days), and lack of specific instances of harassment with clear nexus to the suicide.
