Case Summary: 197/2023 Court Decision (22.05.2026): The court acquitted accused Narendra Nath Chouhan of charges under IPC Section 374 (unlawful compulsory labor) and Juvenile Justice Act Section 79, finding insufficient evidence that he engaged the 8-year-old child in child labor at his residence. While the child was found at the accused's house, the prosecution failed to prove through credible independent witnesses or documentary evidence that the accused actually employed the child or subjected him to forced labor, with key witness statements containing contradictions and admissions that they did not observe the child working. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
