STATE OF WEST BENGAL vs MADHU PRASAD AHIR — 153/2026

Summary The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in Alipore acquitted Madhu Prasad Ahir of all charges under IPC sections 341/323/354/506/509 (wrongful restraint, causing hurt, outraging modesty, criminal intimidation, and word insult). The court found that the prosecution failed to provide cogent and reliable evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, with only one prosecution witness who claimed to know nothing about the case, the complainant failing to testify, and no corroborating documentary evidence. The court held that mere suspicion cannot substitute for proof and acquitted the accused accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
