State of West Bengal vs GOPAL MONDAL AND 1 OUTHER — 6313/2020

The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barrackpore acquitted Gopal Mondal and Sampa Mondal of charges under IPC sections 341/323/506/34 (wrongful restraint, voluntarily causing hurt, and criminal intimidation). The sole prosecution witness, the defacto complainant Smt. Anjana Mondal, retracted her allegations stating she had no case against the accused and the dispute was settled. The court found vast discrepancies between the written complaint and trial testimony, lack of incriminating evidence, and the prosecution's failure to establish essential ingredients of the offences, rendering the case fundamentally weak.
