The case involved an accused charged with kidnapping, rape, and abetment of suicide of a 16-year-old victim who allegedly died by poisoning on 10.05.2024, two days after the purported kidnapping. The Sessions Court acquitted the accused, and the matter came before the Gujarat High Court on appeal against that acquittal. The High Court found that the prosecution failed to prove the victim's minority, as the birth certificate was not exhibited and no witness adequately established her age; the school certificate alone was held insufficient. The court further held that the presumption under Sections 29-30 of POCSO was inapplicable as the rape charge itself was not proved, and the chain of circumstances establishing kidnapping, rape, and abetment of suicide was not established. The High Court concurred with the Sessions Court and held the acquittal was not perverse, declining to interfere.
