About 1,903 cases were filed during the last three years. The court gave punishment in only eight cases. Allegations in most of the cases could not be proved due to lack of proper evidence or for inadequate medical report, court sources said.

In the eight cases, one person got capital punishment for murder, two got life term imprisonment for acid throwing and seven others got 10 years' rigorous imprisonment (RI) for torture for dowry.

The concerned court was set up on January 20 in 2002.
