SONI vs RAJKUMAR — 15/2022

Summary The court discharged all four accused persons (Rajkumar, Manoj Kumar, Prakashi Devi, and Soni) under Section 245 of the CrPC in a dowry harassment case (Sections 498A, 323, 504, 506 IPC and Dowry Prohibition Act). The court found that despite multiple opportunities, the complainant failed to present any substantive evidence and repeatedly absented herself from court, thereby denying the accused a fair opportunity to challenge the allegations. Applying established legal precedent, the court held that discharge was justified as no prima facie case had been established against the accused.
