The Sub Inspector of Police Jalakandapuram Police Station vs Yuvaraj — 667/2024

Court Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court II, Mettur acquitted all three accused (Yuvaraj, Latha, and Sathishkumar) of charges under IPC sections 294(b), 352, 354(A), 509, 506(i) and the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act. The court found that although the prosecution examined six witnesses and presented evidence of alleged dowry demand, sexual harassment, and threats in a domestic dispute, the key witnesses (PW1—the complainant—and PW3—her father) retracted their statements during cross-examination after the accused and complainant reconciled and reunited. Since the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, all accused were acquitted under CrPC Section 248(1).
