Court Decision Summary The Special Sessions Court (SC/ST PoA Act), Siddharthnagar acquitted Srimati Keela Bano of charges under IPC Sections 504, 506 and SC/ST (PoA) Act Section 3(1)(10), finding that the prosecution failed to establish that any insult or intimidation was specifically on account of the victim's Scheduled Caste status. The court noted the complainant's death during proceedings and determined the allegations were rooted in a property/family dispute rather than caste-based discrimination, citing Supreme Court precedent requiring clear evidence of caste-based animus for SC/ST Act charges. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
