The Court said that <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>there is no such impossibility<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senior Advocate R. Basant had argued before the Court that the case was made out against the convict only under Section 376(1) and not under Section 376(2), however, after perusing the charges framed, the Court noticed that the charge was not only under Section 376(1) IPC, but was under Section 376, which includes Section 376(2).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, there was a concurrent finding of the Court below of facts that the victim, who was only 6 years old, was raped by the petitioner. Apart from the victim\u2019s testimony, there was also the testimony of her mother, who was an eye witness to the incident. The petitioner was over 18 years old and was found to be potent. His <em>lungi<\/em> was recovered and he himself absconded, having been captured after 15 days of the incident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While dismissing the Special Leave Petition, the Court said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u201cConsidering that the State has not filed an appeal and that the incident has taken place 20 years ago, we dismiss the special leave petition, without going into Section 376(2) and whether a case is made out on facts for reducing the minimum punishment of 10 years.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Seelan v.
