Final Orders / Judgements
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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
