State of West Bengal vs Prasenjit Bauri — 306/2025

Case 306/2025 Summary The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate of Raghunathpur acquitted Prasenjit Bauri of charges under BNS sections 126(2)/351(2)/79 (obstruction, criminal intimidation, and abuse). The court found insufficient evidence, noting that supporting witnesses contradicted the complainant's account—particularly the mother-in-law who admitted during cross-examination that a scuffle occurred between the complainant and her own son, not the accused. The court held that relying solely on the complainant's testimony, compounded by new details about Facebook messages not mentioned in the FIR, was unsafe for conviction beyond reasonable doubt.
