JAMMU, Aug 18: 3rd Additional Sessions Judge/Fast Track Court Sanjeev Gupta has acquitted one Rakesh Kumar, who was facing trial in rape case, as case was registered by prosecutrix after five months. Moreover, she has failed to comprehend the circumstances in which the charge of rape can be leveled against the accused.
According to the police case, accused Rakesh Kumar was sending messages to the prosecutrix due to which she started thinking of her marriage with Rakesh Kumar without realizing his actual intentions.
On November 30, 2007 accused brought prosecutrix to the court for marriage where she put her signatures on some stamp papers. Thereafter, accused told prosecutrix that he will meet her parents in order to persuade them for marriage. Later, accused developed sexual intimacy with her on understanding that they had already entered into wedlock before the court. After sometime accused snatched the original documents and prosecutrix reported the matter and police registered a case.
After hearing both the sides, Presiding Officer Fast Track Court observed, “from the record, it becomes crystal clear that if the evidence of the prosecutrix is read and considered in totality of the circumstances along with the other evidence on record, court is of the view that her deposition does not inspires confidence on account of non disclosure by her of true genises of the crime”.
Observing that prosecution has failed to bring home guilt against the accused, the Court acquitted the accused of the charges leveled against him.
