Summary: Case 41/2025 - State v. Sairaj Nathuram Mali The Murud First Class Magistrate Court acquitted accused Sairaj Nathuram Mali on March 12, 2026, finding that the prosecution failed to establish the charges under Indian Penal Code sections 79, 351(2), and 352 (criminal intimidation and insult). The sole complainant-witness testified that she received a threatening phone call in April 2025 and later discovered her photograph set as a WhatsApp display picture, but provided no concrete evidence of the accused's involvement, and the complainant subsequently recanted her allegations. The court found the prosecution's case lacked sufficient solid evidence and held the accused entitled to acquittal under the principle that guilt must be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
