Judgement

Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Jithu Prakash & Sulekha T K (Case 339/2025) The court acquitted both accused of sexual assault and related charges under BNS and POCSO Act. The victim (PW1), the key witness, testified she did not remember giving her initial statement to police, denied allegations against the accused, and failed to corroborate prosecution claims. The court found no credible evidence of the alleged offences despite pending DNA reports, holding that DNA evidence alone cannot establish guilt without supporting testimony. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
