Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: 428/2025 The Fast Track Special Court in Changanassery acquitted 18-year-old Abhishek B of sexual assault charges under BNS and POCSO Act. The court found that the key prosecution witnesses—the alleged child victim and her father—were unreliable and did not support the prosecution's case. The victim explicitly denied the allegations, stating the accused was unknown to her and never assaulted her. The court held that even pending DNA evidence establishing biological paternity cannot substitute for credible testimony of actual sexual assault, emphasizing that DNA evidence requires corroborating evidence to be probative. The accused was released and his bail bond cancelled. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
