If light doesnt pass through to the other side then that would be shadow, correct?

Just kidding.....Heres a possible solution for ya.

To stop the object from casting select object and turn off cast shadows in attribute editor.

On the the floor or whatevers underneath also goto attribute editor and turn off receive shadows.

Should do the trick.
