    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: Sessions Case No. 5/2024 Court Decision: All five accused—Dr. Govardhan Pawar, Baliram Dhere, Digambar Dhere, Alaknanda Dhere, and Janardhan Balwante—were acquitted of charges under IPC Sections 312, 313 (causing miscarriage) and the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971. Key Reasoning: The prosecution failed to establish its case due to insufficient evidence. Critical witnesses, including the patient Madhuri Balwante and Dr. Bapurao Pawar, did not support the prosecution. The informant's evidence was hearsay based solely on the patient's statement. No independent evidence proved that the doctor advised abortion pills or that the medical shop owner sold them without prescription.
