Noorul Hithaya Beevi vs N.Gulaamkathar and another — 47/2023

Summary The Additional District Court dismissed a criminal appeal challenging an acquittal in a dowry harassment case. The lower court had acquitted two defendants of charges under Indian Penal Code Section 498(A) and the Dowry Prohibition Act, finding insufficient evidence that they demanded or obtained dowry through coercion. The appellate court confirmed this acquittal, holding that while gifts and dowry were given at marriage, the evidence did not establish criminal demand or harassment by the accused.
