Copy of Judgment

Summary The Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused under IPC Section 386, 506(2) (extortion and criminal intimidation), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the key government witnesses gave contradictory and unreliable testimony, with the victim's initial statement to police contradicting his later court testimony, thereby creating sufficient doubt about whether the alleged extortion and threatening incident actually occurred as charged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
