    Case Summary: Sessions Case No. 88/2024 Decision: All four accused persons (Rajaram Gorakh Salgar, Tukaram Bapu Terave, Lingadev Krishna Salgar, and Kakasaheb Dasharath Salgar) were acquitted of charges under IPC Sections 306, 504, 506 (read with Section 34) and Maharashtra Money Lending Act Sections 39 & 45. Key Reasoning: The court found critical gaps in the prosecution's evidence. Although the deceased Somnath allegedly consumed weed killer (2,4-D) following alleged harassment by the accused over loan repayment, medical evidence contradicted the suicide narrative: chemical analysis revealed no poison in the viscera, postmortem examination found no burns or blisters indicative of poisoning, no weed killer bottle was recovered despite spot investigation, and the forensic doctor ultimately opined the cause of death was bilateral lobar pneumonia (natural death). The prosecution failed to prove either that suicide occurred or that the accused abetted it. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
