State of West Bengal vs Biplab Mondal and 03 others Advocate - Palash Sarkar — 88/2024

Summary: In Sessions Case No. 88 of 2024, the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court-1, Malda acquitted all four accused persons (Biplab Mondal, Promoth Mondal, Bhedi Mondal, and Gour Mondal) of charges under sections 498A/304B/34 IPC. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish any evidence against the accused despite examining ten witnesses; most witnesses (except the complainant, priest, and autopsy surgeon) turned hostile, and the complainant himself admitted during cross-examination that he did not compose the written complaint and that the accused persons did not demand dowry. The court accordingly directed their acquittal and release from bail bonds under section 232 CrPC. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
