Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: 403/2026 Court Decision: The 2nd Additional Sessions Judge & Special Judge (POCSO), Gandhinagar rejected the regular bail application of 21-year-old Pradipkumar Ramlutavan Gautam, accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 17-year-old minor girl under POCSO Act and BNS provisions. Key Reasoning: The court found a prima facie case against the applicant as the main accused and rejected the argument that the victim's alleged willingness negated the charges, holding that a minor's consent is legally irrelevant. The court also cited Supreme Court precedent that filing a chargesheet does not diminish prosecution allegations. Given the gravity of offences, flight risk (accused has ties outside Gujarat), and threat to witnesses, the court determined judicial discretion could not be exercised in the applicant's favour. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
