Final Orders / Judgements
The court acquitted accused Nimai Mandal of charges under Section 137(2)/140(3 of BNS and Section 4 of POCSO Act, finding insufficient evidence of kidnapping or sexual abuse. Both the victim and her father testified that the girl voluntarily went to the accused's house after a family quarrel, stayed for three days with no assault, and the complaint was filed based on village suspicion rather than actual wrongdoing. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
