Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Sreejith S (SC 307/2023) Court Decision: The accused Sreejith S was acquitted of all charges under POCSO Act sections 12 r/w 11(i)-(vi), IPC sections 354-D, 354-A, 509, 420, and IT Act sections 67A-67B. Key Reasoning: The court found the victim's (PW1) sole testimony unreliable and not of "sterling quality." Critical evidentiary gaps undermined the prosecution's case: the accused's alleged mobile phone (MO2) was never proven to belong to him; no video-chat demanding the gold chain was recovered; the gold chain itself was never recovered; and the victim admitted she had not seen the accused's nude photos in the forensic evidence. The court determined the victim lacked credibility, noting inconsistencies and her deceptive behavior toward her mother, making conviction unsafe despite serious allegations of child sexual abuse and theft. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
