Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: 100343/2025 The Fast Track Special Judge in Changanassery acquitted accused Prince M Prakash of all charges under the POCSO Act and IPC sections for alleged sexual assault of a 12-year-old child. The court found the accused not guilty because the key prosecution witnesses (victim and step-mother) retracted their statements during trial—the victim denied remembering why she filed the complaint and disowned critical portions of her statement, while the step-mother similarly disowned her police statement. With no corroborating evidence and material witnesses failing to support the prosecution case, the court held that even a pending DNA report could not change the outcome absent supporting evidence of the alleged penetrative assault. The accused was acquitted and released from bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
