State of Kerala Police vs Jibin G.P Advocate - MANOJ PETER — 484/2025

JudgementView PDF

Case Summary: Sessions Case No. 484/2025 Jibin G.P was acquitted of charges under the POCSO Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha for allegedly sexually assaulting a 17-year-old minor. The court found that the victim (PW1) did not deny consensual sexual intercourse and claimed a lawful customary marriage with the accused performed after attaining majority. The judge rejected the prosecution's birth certificate evidence showing her date of birth as 21-10-2007 due to suspicious discrepancies (address contradictions and common names), while accepting PW1's testimony that she was born in 2006 and was 18 at marriage. The court ruled the prosecution failed to prove the victim was a minor at the time of the alleged assault, thereby lacking the foundation for child sexual abuse charges.
