Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Sessions Court, Yavatmal acquitted Sandip Gautam Landge of charges under Section 376(2)(f)(i)(k)(n) (rape), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the accusations beyond reasonable doubt. The court concluded the sexual relationship was consensual rather than forced, based on the victim's conduct (willingly lodging with the accused), the cramped living conditions where the sister was continuously present, and the delayed filing of the report only after family members learned of the pregnancy. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
