As per case facts, the Informant accused her husband (Appellant) of sexually abusing their minor daughter, leading to his conviction under POCSO and IPC. The Informant and victim left the
...matrimonial home, and allegations surfaced after separation. The appeal challenged the conviction, citing matrimonial discord, delay in reporting, inconsistencies in witness statements, lack of medical evidence, and a potential motive related to a property dispute. The question arose whether the prosecution proved guilt beyond reasonable doubt, given these concerns. Finally, the High Court found the Informant's and victim's testimonies unreliable due to contradictions and omissions, noted the absence of medical corroboration, and identified a plausible motive for false implication. The court concluded that the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt, thereby acquitting the Appellant.
