Bombay High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>Sadhana S. Jadhav, J. allowed an appeal filed against the decision of the trial court whereby the appellant was convicted for offences punishable under Section 376 IPC (punishment for rape)\u00a0<\/em>and Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (punishment for penetrative sexual assault).<\/em><\/p>\n

The appellant was accused of committing rape upon the prosecutrix on pretext of marriage. He was tried and convicted by the trial court as aforesaid.<\/p>\n

Arjun Rajput, counsel for the appellant assailed the judgment of the trial court. Per contra, S.S. Pednekar, Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing for the State supported the impugned judgment.<\/p>\n

The High Court noted that evidence of the prosecutrix, on which appellant’s conviction was primarily based, did not inspire confidence. Also, several witnesses turned hostile. The Court stated,\u00a0“witness may lie, but the circumstances will not lie.”\u00a0<\/strong>As per the FIR, the appellant and prosecutrix had already made a plan to go out on the day of the alleged incident. It was observed,\u00a0“The papers of investigation would indicate that the appellant was in love with the prosecutrix and that has led to initiation of criminal prosecution. The parents of the prosecutrix and that has led to initiation of criminal prosecution. The fact that the prosecutrix had voluntarily missed the classes and decided to accompany him would be sufficient to indicate that she was not forced to accompany the appellant.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Court noted further,\u00a0“The appellant seemed to be so frustrated with the criminal prosecution that he made no efforts even to defend himself. In his statement\u00a0under Section 313 CrPC he has only stated that he does not wish to speak about the incident. The papers of investigation would further indicate that the appellant felt betrayed by the prosecutrix. That it was a love affair between two youngsters, which had landed in criminal prosecution of a young boy.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

In such circumstances, the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the conviction and sentence awarded to the appellant by the trial court. [Gorakshya Arjun Mahakal v. State of Maharashtra, 2019 SCC OnLine Bom 520<\/b><\/a>, dated 13-03-2019]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
