    Summary The Fast Track Special Court in Kolhapur acquitted all 13 accused of charges under IPC Section 376 (rape), POCSO Act Sections 4, 6, 8, 12 (sexual offenses against minors), and the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the allegations of child marriage and sexual assault. The court relied primarily on the victim's testimony, which contradicted the prosecution case, and found insufficient corroborating evidence despite serious charges that required stringent proof. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
