    JudgementView PDF

    Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court, Bishnupur acquitted both accused Kartick Kundu and Swapan Dutta @ Naru of charges under Section 323 IPC (voluntarily causing hurt). The court found that prosecution witnesses, including the victim himself, provided only vague testimony of "hot altercation and tussle" without clear, direct evidence of actual assault, and both witnesses stated during cross-examination that disputes had been resolved and they bore no grievances, failing to meet the burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt.
