Summary The Judicial Magistrate acquitted Biswanath Kundu of charges under Section 143 of the Railway Act, 1989 for allegedly conducting unauthorized railway ticket booking business. The court found critical deficiencies in the prosecution's case: failure to prove the accused lacked lawful authority, lack of reliable independent witnesses (the sole local witness was the accused's brother), procedural flaws in the seizure process, and inability to establish commercial activity as a business. Applying the principle that reasonable doubt entitles the accused to acquittal, the court ruled the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
