JUDGMENT

Case Summary: The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Jhargram acquitted all four accused persons (Kanti Kuila, Santupada Kuila, Bholanath Kuila, and Sourav Kuila) of charges under IPC sections 447/323/504/427/34 (trespass, criminal intimidation, mischief, and criminal assault) on May 20, 2026. The prosecution failed to produce sufficient credible evidence—the complainant provided no documentary proof of property damage or medical treatment, key witnesses had no knowledge of the incident, and the alleged stolen money was never recovered. The court found the prosecution's case lacked substance and corroboration, holding there was "no iota of evidence" to support the charges. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
