Copy of Judgment

Summary The Special Judge acquitted all three accused (Nitesh Funde, Chaitram Funde, and Geeta Funde) of charges under IPC sections 363 and 376(2)(n), POCSO Act section 6, and Child Marriage Act sections 9 and 11. The court found the prosecution failed to reliably prove the victim was a minor at the time of the alleged offenses, as the age documents were based on unproduced primary school records, citing precedent that evidence from the first attended school is necessary. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
