    The accused, Prakash Behera, was acquitted of all charges under BNS sections 137(2), 64(2)(i), 64(2)(m), 87 and POCSO Act sections 4, 6, 8, 12 due to the victim's hostile testimony denying the allegations and lack of corroborative medical evidence. The court found the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, establishing that foundational evidence under POCSO requires direct victim testimony before presumptions apply.
