Delhi Courts Acquit Accused in Separate Sexual Offence Cases Citing Insufficient Evidence
Two Delhi courts acquitted accused individuals in separate sexual offence cases due to insufficient evidence. The Delhi High Court upheld a trial court's acquittal in a rape case, ruling that DNA evidence confirming intercourse and paternity does not prove lack of consent. In another case, a Delhi court acquitted a father-son duo of molestation and related charges, citing contradictions in the prosecution's case and hostile witness testimony. Both judgments emphasized the requirement to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
