Judgement

Court Summary The court acquitted the accused, Satyaprakash (also known as Setoli), of all charges under IPC Sections 302 (murder), 498A (cruelty), and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) dated 09.04.2026. The case involved the death of the accused's wife, Radha, who suffered severe burn injuries. While the victim gave a dying declaration claiming the accused poured kerosene and set her on fire, the court found the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. Key factors influencing the acquittal included: inconsistencies in the victim's statements, the victim's documented history of mental illness and previous suicide attempts, lack of corroborating eyewitness testimony from family members present at the scene, absence of physical evidence linking the accused to the crime, and the victim's own admission that she set herself on fire. The court emphasized that the dying declaration, though generally credible, must be scrutinized against available evidence and medical findings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
