Summary: The Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Contai acquitted all three accused persons (Animesh Das, Satya Kumar Das, and Sumitra Das) of charges under IPC sections 498(A)/304(B)/34 on 19 March 2026. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as all four prosecution witnesses could not corroborate the allegations of dowry harassment and abetment to suicide despite testifying that the deceased committed suicide by hanging. The court emphasized that the prosecution must prove guilt on its own strength, not rely on absence of defence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
