    The Additional Sessions Judge at Alibag, Raigad acquitted accused Vilas Aasha Gadkhal of charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO), 2012, finding that both the victim and her mother turned hostile to the prosecution case, with neither having any complaint against the accused. The court determined that the prosecution failed to prove any offense beyond reasonable doubt, as key witnesses testified that the victim was above 18 years old when married to the accused and did not wish to proceed with the case.
