    Case Summary: 487/2026 The Judicial Magistrate acquitted all four accused persons (Toufik Sk, Sahabuddin Sk, Nurechha Bibi, and Hriday Sk) of charges under BNS sections 85(2)/3(5) and Dowry Prohibition Act sections 3/4. The complainant alleged the accused (her husband and in-laws) subjected her to continuous physical and mental torture over dowry demands of Rs. 50,000, culminating in assault on 14.04.2025. However, during trial, the complainant admitted the matter was amicably settled out of court and she had no allegations against the accused. The court found insufficient evidence of substantiated cruelty and held that matrimonial disputes cannot constitute cruelty without persistent or proximate torture. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
