    Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Ranjith V.M (SC 1020/2024) The Fast Track Special Court acquitted 24-year-old Ranjith V.M of charges including kidnapping, rape, and POCSO Act violations involving a 15-year-old victim. The court found insufficient evidence after the victim and her mother—the prosecution's key witnesses—both turned hostile, denying the allegations and disowning their police statements. The court concluded that without credible victim testimony and with only police investigative evidence, the charges could not be established beyond reasonable doubt.
