    Summary The court acquitted all six accused in a dowry harassment and cruelty case filed by a woman against her husband and in-laws. The judgment, issued on May 2, 2026, by the First Class Magistrate Court in Chikhali (Buldhana district, Maharashtra), found that the prosecution failed to establish sufficient evidence to prove the charges under Indian Penal Code sections 85, 115(2), 352, 351(2)(3), and 3(5) despite accepting the accused's crime scene statement. The complainant's own testimony lacked specific details about the alleged demand of ₹3 lakh for a car and the harassment she claimed to have suffered.
