Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary The Additional District & Sessions Judge, Alipurduar acquitted accused Mithu Hossain of rape charges under IPC Section 376/511/323, finding the prosecution's evidence insufficient and riddled with discrepancies. The court noted that the principal witness (victim/FIR lodger) contradicted the FIR by admitting she didn't remember its contents, filed the complaint out of fear due to a property dispute rather than sexual assault, and provided no evidence of sexual assault—only that she was slapped. The judgment emphasized that while victim testimony in rape cases is given significant weight, it must still inspire confidence and withstand scrutiny; here, the gaps and contradictions rendered the prosecution story highly improbable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
