State of West Bengal vs Rintu Kaibarta Advocate - Rajib Ghosh — 64/2022

Case Summary: State of West Bengal v. Rintu Kaibarta (Case 64/2022) The Special Court in Chanchal, Malda acquitted Rintu Kaibarta of charges under Section 6 of the POCSO Act (aggravated penetrative sexual assault on a minor). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, noting that neither the alleged survivor nor her mother corroborated the written complaint during trial testimony. The survivor denied giving any prior statement to the magistrate and could not recall whether she received medical examination, while independent witnesses were declared hostile and provided no supporting evidence. The court determined the complaint appeared motivated by a land dispute between the complainant and the accused's father rather than genuine sexual assault allegations.
