Final Orders / Judgements
SUMMARY: All five accused persons were acquitted of charges under the POCSO Act and various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The Special Court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the victim was raped by the accused. Though the victim was established as a minor (16 years, 4 months, 27 days old) at the time of the alleged incident on 24.09.2024, the court held that the victim's testimony was inconsistent across her FIR, medical examination history, Section 183 CrPC statement, and in-court deposition, making it unreliable. Additionally, the prosecution could not corroborate the victim's allegations with independent evidence, and the evidence about the guest house visits and the alleged multiple sexual assaults lacked concrete proof—including no physical evidence, no WhatsApp chats recovered from either party's phones, and no guest house register entry. The court therefore acquitted all the accused of all charges. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
