Case Summary: 23/2025 Court Decision: Both accused, Sharad Akash Ingole and Amar Sham Bhagat, were acquitted of charges under IPC Sections 74, 78, 3(5) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act Sections 8 and 12. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the victim's age as below 18 years at the time of the alleged incident (06/02/2025) and could not prove the charges of sexual assault and harassment beyond reasonable doubt. The lone victim's testimony, unsupported by corroborating evidence or documentary proof of her age, was insufficient to secure conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
