Copy of Judgment

Summary The Special Judge (POCSO Act) at Newasa acquitted all four accused of charges under IPC Sections 354(D) & 506 (read with 34) and POCSO Act Section 12. The court found the victim's testimony inconsistent across her FIR, recorded statement, and court deposition regarding allegations of stalking and harassment, and noted the prosecution failed to examine corroborating witnesses despite their availability. Due to these credibility issues and insufficient evidence, the court concluded the prosecution failed to prove the accused followed the victim with intent to foster relations or outrage her modesty. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
