Nankali v. State of U.P. and 3 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court (Neutral Citation 2025:AHC:135311), Court No. 81, Manoj Bajaj, J.; CRIMINAL MISC. APPLICATION U/S 419 BNSS No. 94 of 2025, decided 11.8.2025. Applicant Nankali (counsel: Ankit Pandey, Deepak Gaur) vs State of U.P. and others (G.A.). Challenge under Section 419(4) BNSS to acquittal judgment dated 21.03.2025 in Complaint Case No. 4561 of 2016 (Nankali vs. Urmila Devi), Sections 323, 504, 506 IPC, P.S. Sarai Akil, District Kaushambi, acquitting Urmila, Ram Naresh and Lavkush. Application dismissed: no medical report of injured; bare assertion of medical examination insufficient; prior acquittal of accused in complainant's Section 376 IPC case admitted; false implication defence; proper appreciation of evidence by trial court; no interference warranted.
What did the court decide?
The prosecution evidence was without any medical report of the injured, and the complainant's bald statement before the trial court that she got herself medically examined is not sufficient to prove the alleged injuries suffered by her.
