Can you share with us a particularly challenging case you handled and how complex was it?
The most complex and challenging cases often involve POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences). However, the Thrissur POCSO case, which garnered significant attention, is worth a mention. In this case, the defendant’s unwavering belief in his innocence was surprising. Proving innocence in POCSO cases is particularly tough, as these proceedings prioritise the victim's account. The victim had provided substantial evidence against the accused. However, as the trial unfolded, it was revealed that the victim had implicated the boy to protect someone else. Ultimately, the accused was exonerated, and the court acquitted him unconditionally. This case underscores the principle that with determination, it is possible to unveil the truth and establish innocence.
