Respondent told the prosecutrix that he had divorced his wife and was staying separately and that he needed a capable woman to handle his work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accused made the prosecutrix CEO and later partner in one of the said companies. Further, the prosecutrix added that all the work-related meetings and talks used to happen at the home of accused\/respondent 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was alleged that one day, the accused called the prosecutrix to his home and mixed some intoxicant in her cold drink because of which she went semi-conscious state and accused raped her four times. Accused\/Respondent 1 told her that he liked her and hence wanted to marry her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adding to this, it was stated that respondent 1 started harassing the prosecutrix for salary and stopped paying her salary and remove her from her job. He even refused to pay her dues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later respondent 1 called the prosecutrix to his office and gave her one month&#8217;s salary and that too in two parts \u2013 half was paid in cash and the other half was by way of cheque which was issued in the wrong name. Accused asked her to come to Safdarjung Club where he would make another cheque with the correct name, but at the Club, he came with another accused\/respondent 2 who used to work with respondent 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accused threatened prosecutrix that he would viral the video of the prosecutrix if she persisted with her demand for money. Respondent 2 abused the prosecutrix in the parking, respondent 1 caught hold of her and tried to touch her inappropriately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additional Session Judge found that there is discrepancy even in the narration of facts by the prosecutrix regarding her visit to Safdarjung Club.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, it was held that despite this contradiction the factum of quarrel and prosecutrix leaving the parking of Safdarjung Club in haste to dodge off accused persons was disproved by the CCTV footage obtained by IO. Hence, the Judge found no case to be made out and the accused were discharged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Analysis and Decision<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In view of the above facts and circumstances, Bench firstly discussed the scope and ambit of Section 227 CrPC in a number of Judgments, such as:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Union of India v.

The tower locations of the respondent were that of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab and after entering Delhi on 28-09-2015, his tower location throughout the night until next morning was in the area of Safdar Jung enclave, Delhi, whereas the locations of the prosecutrix were in the area of Qutab Minar Metro Station. Hence, both the accused and prosecutrix were never together at any time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, in the present case, call detail records destroyed the prosecution case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No material was found except for the prosecutrix statement to sufficiently bring out a case of rape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">High Court while exercising its jurisdiction under Section 397\/401 did not find infirmity in the impugned order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Even if a different conclusion is possible it is well settled that a revisional court does not substitute its conclusion to the one arrived at by the lower court unless it is perverse or contrary to law.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, the petition was dismissed.
