Final Orders / Judgements
Summary: The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Darjeeling acquitted Dhiraj Agarwal of charges under IPC sections 498A (cruelty by husband) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) on March 9, 2026. The court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt because the sole witness—the complainant wife—retracted her allegations during testimony, stating the matter was settled and expressing no objection to acquittal, creating substantial deviation from her FIR version. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
