    Case Summary: State of Gujarat v. Raviraj Dilipbhai Nayak Decision: The court acquitted the accused of all charges, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court identified critical deficiencies: (1) the victim's alleged minor status could not be established—both parents admitted they couldn't recall her exact birth date, contradicting the birth certificate; (2) all three primary witnesses (victim, mother, father) turned hostile and denied the alleged sexual assault; (3) no independent evidence corroborated the incident; and (4) investigative gaps were unexplained, including how the accused accessed a locked school building on a holiday.
