Headnote | Penal Code, 1860- ss.376, 147, 3231149, 342, 458 and 366 - Rape and abduction - Five accused - Conviction of, on the ground that they assaulted the brother of prosecutrix, abducted the prosecutrix and thereafter accused no. 1 raped her - Appeal against conviction - Held: Plea that prosecutrix was married to accused no. 1 and therefore there was no rape or abduction cannot be accepted, as there was no evidence of marriage - Conviction of accused no. 1 thus upheld - Conviction of accused no.2 also upheld as his role was clearly established from evidence of prosecutrix and two other PWs - However, conviction of accused nos.3 to 5 set aside in the absence of any evidence to link them with the alleged offence - Crime against Women. According to the prosecution, on the fateful night while prosecutrix (PW5) and her family members including PWs 2 and 4 were sleeping in the house, the accused - appellants arrived there armed with iron rod and lathis, assaulted PW2 and abducted the prosecutrix. It is alleged that thereafter the accused stripped the clothes of prosecutrix and appellant no.1 raped her for two nights. Referring to the evidence of PWs 2, 4 and 5, the trial court convicted appellant no.1 under ss.376, 147, 323/149, 342, 458 and 366 IPC and the other appellants under ss. 147, 3231149, 342, 458 and 366 IPC. The High Court upheld the conviction. The conviction of the appellants was challenged before this Court on the ground that two defence witnesses had categorically stated that the prosecutrix was married to appellant no.1 and therefore there was no rape or abduction. It was further contended that there was no evidence to link the appellants 3 to 5 with the alleged offence. |
