Recent rulings by Indian courts have resulted in the acquittal of three defendants across diverse criminal charges, citing insufficient evidentiary foundations.

印度法院最近的裁決中，因證據基礎不足，導致三名面對不同刑事指控的被告被判無罪。

In the first instance, the Bombay High Court overturned a life sentence previously imposed on Prabhakar Shetty for a 2013 homicide. While the lower court had deemed the circumstantial evidence sufficient, the appellate bench determined that the prosecution failed to establish the 'last seen' doctrine, noting that Call Detail Records indicated the presence of an unidentified third party. Consequently, the murder conviction was vacated, although the conviction for the destruction of evidence was maintained, as the defendant had already completed the requisite two-year term.

在第一起案件中，孟買高等法院推翻了先前對 Prabhakar Shetty 關於 2013 年一起謀殺案的終身監禁判決。雖然原審法院認為間接證據已足夠，但上訴法庭判定控方未能確立「最後見面」原則，並指出通話詳細記錄顯示現場存在一名身份不明的第三方。因此，謀殺罪的定罪被撤銷，但破壞證據的定罪予以維持，因為被告已完成所需的兩年刑期。

Parallelly, a Thane court acquitted a 40-year-old tennis coach of charges involving the sexual assault of a minor under the POCSO Act. The judiciary observed that the victim's continued professional engagement with the accused post-incident served to rebut the legal presumption of guilt. The court further highlighted the absence of corroborative witness testimony and the inconclusive nature of forensic DNA profiling of the aborted fetus, asserting that the gravity of an allegation does not substitute for evidentiary proof.

與此同時，塔內法院判定一名 40 歲網球教練涉嫌違反 POCSO 法案性侵未成年人的指控不成立。法院觀察到，受害者在事後仍與被告維持專業合作關係，足以反駁法律上對其有罪的推定。法院進一步強調，缺乏證人的 corroboration 證詞，且對墮胎胎兒的 DNA 鑑定結果並不明確，主張指控的嚴重程度不能替代證據證明。

Finally, a local sessions court acquitted a 27-year-old male of abetting his father's suicide. The prosecution's case was undermined when primary witnesses, including the victim's spouse and children, recanted their initial statements, attributing the death to systemic financial distress rather than familial harassment. The court noted a significant lack of forensic documentation regarding alleged suicide notes, concluding that the investigating officer's testimony was insufficient to sustain a conviction under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

最後，一家當地初級法院判定一名 27 歲男子教唆父親自殺的指控不成立。由於包括受害者配偶與子女在內的主要證人撤回了最初的陳述，將死因歸咎於系統性的財務困境而非家庭騷擾，控方的案情因此受損。法院指出，關於所謂自殺遺書的法醫文件嚴重缺乏，結論是調查官的證詞不足以根據 Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 法典維持定罪。

These cases demonstrate a consistent judicial requirement for rigorous evidentiary links to sustain criminal convictions.

這些案例證明了，司法上一致要求必須有嚴謹的證據鏈才能維持刑事定罪。
