Case Summary The Special Court (POCSO Act), Kalna acquitted accused Kartick Das of charges under Section 376AB/511 IPC and Section 6/12 of the POCSO Act. The court found significant discrepancies in prosecution witness testimonies—including contradictions about the father's presence at the incident, the victim's school enrollment, and failure to produce the investigating officer or corroborating witnesses. Additionally, the victim's medical examination was refused, leaving sexual assault unproven. The court concluded the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
