    Case Summary: State of West Bengal v. Narayan Singh Sardar (7/2023) Court Decision: The Additional Sessions Judge acquitted accused Narayan Singh Sardar of charges under Section 376(2)(n) IPC and Section 6 POCSO Act, finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court identified critical deficiencies: the victim's age could not be conclusively established as below 18 years; medical examination showed no signs of forceful assault; the investigating officer was not examined; and witness testimonies contained significant inconsistencies and contradictions. The mother's admission that the victim was a major at the time of incident fatally undermined the POCSO Act charges.
