Bombay High Court:<\/strong> Justice Sadhna Jadhav had recently granted bail to a person accused of raping his adoptive daughter. While granting the bail, she gave the reason that the victim used to do ‘all the dirty things’ and she was ‘inherently abnormal’ and had ‘sexual instincts right from her childhood’ in paragraph 4 of the \u00a0order dated 16.01.2017<\/a> in Dominic Richards Rodrigues<\/em> v. State of Maharashtra.<\/em><\/p>\n

The State circulated the application for expunging the paragraph 4 of the judgment along with her clarification. The Judge clarified that it was not the finding recorded by the Court and that the reference to \u2018dirty things\u2019 was based on the two handwritten letters of the victim under title \u2018My History\u2019 and that is also the part and parcel of the charge-sheet. The Judge sought to observe presently that the victim is not responsible for the same or it does not specify her conduct.\u00a0In pursuance of the same, the paragraph was expunged by presenting the above clarification.
