    Summary The Additional Sessions Judge acquitted Rathikanta Saha of charges under Section 376(1)/511 IPC and Section 6/18 POCSO Act, finding the prosecution failed to prove attempted rape beyond reasonable doubt. Although the victim was confirmed to be a minor (aged 17), testimonies contradicted the written complaint—the victim stated the accused only hugged her and did nothing more, while parents claimed he merely rebuked her, revealing no sexual intent.
