Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Akash Upendrashaha Soni (43/2025) Court Decision: Accused Akash Upendrashaha Soni was acquitted of all charges under POCSO Act Sections 4 & 12, BNS Sections 64(2)(m), 69 & 78(2), and SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act Sections 3(1)(w) & 3(2)(v). Key Reasoning: The victim, the sole prosecution witness, failed to support the case in court testimony, denying allegations of sexual harassment, rape, and repeated sexual assault despite initially reporting them. The court found the victim was over 18 years old during the alleged February-September 2024 incidents, making POCSO charges inapplicable. Medical examination showed no injuries and indicated consensual relations; absence of DNA test results and lack of corroborating evidence further weakened prosecution's case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
