Final Orders / Judgements
The Special Judge acquitted Surendran of charges under Section 10 read with 9(l) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (PoCSO) Act, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case. The survivor, who was the primary witness, testified that an unknown person attacked him but did not identify the accused, and the mother had no direct knowledge of the incident. Since material witnesses did not support the prosecution and no incriminating evidence emerged, the court found reasonable doubt warranted acquittal under Section 255 BNSS. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
