ARGUMENTS,ANALYSISANDFINDINGS:
32.

IhavehearddetailedargumentsadvancedbyLd.Counselfor

Accused as well as Ld. Addl. PP for the State and gone through the
evidenceonrecord.
33.

The testimony of the Prosecutrix is undoubtedly the most

relevant pieceof evidence in the present case. Upon stepping into the
witnessbox,theProsecutrixPW1'J'deposedthaton16.02.2013atabout2
PM, she was called by Bhabhi of Accused to her house to fix a bulb.
Accusedwaspresentthereandwhenshewastryingtofixthebulb,father
ofAccused alsoreachedthereandgaveabottletoAccusedRupeshand
thereafter,heleftfromthere.BhabhiofAccusedalsoleftstatingthatshe

liquidwhichwasinthatbottle.Itwashavingfoulsmellandshebecame
unconsciousafterconsumingit.PW1furtherdeposedthatuponregaining
consciousness,shefoundonlyAccusedRupeshwaspresentthereandshe
was in naked condition and she realized that Accused had established
physical relations with her while she was unconscious. She further
deposedthatAccusedRupeshtoldhernottodiscloseaboutittoanyone
statingthatitwillonlybringbadnametoher.Sheworeherclothesand
return to her house and did not disclose anything to any of her family
members.
34.

On 19.02.2013 at about 8 AM, she went to the house of

AccusedRupeshwherehissister,hisMausaandhisMausiwerepresent.
SheenquiredfromAccusedRupeshastowhyhehadcommittedsaidact

ofAccused,whoaskedAccusedtoapologizeforhisconduct,butAccused
Rupeshpushedandalsoabusedhertodowhatevershewantedtodo.His
Mausatoldhertocommitsuicide.
35.

oftheProsecutrixinthepresentcasedoesnotinspireconfidenceandher
statementisfullofembellishmentsandimprovements,asisapparenton

has falsely implicated Accused in this case as he refused to marry her
thoughshewasverymuchinterestedinmarryingAccusedRupesh.
38.

Ontheotherhand,Ld.Addl.PPcontendedthattestimonyof

theProsecutrixestablishesthecaseoftheProsecutionbeyondreasonable

Acareful perusal oftestimony ofProsecutrix initsentirety

wasconfrontedbyherpreviousstatementsbyLd.DefenceCounseland

42.

Moreover,surprisinglyshedidnotutterawordaboutittoher

compromisedthematterwiththefatherofAccused. PW2fatherofthe
Prosecutrixalsodeposedthaton20.02.2013healongwithProsecutrixwent
to PS where both Accused persons were present and matter was

As per this DD entry, it was reported at PS Burari that one girl has

44.

During thecourse ofcrossexamination,PW1also admitted

that several other cases have been registered on the basis of complaint

made by her against different persons. She also admitted that she got

andherfamilymembersarehabitualoffilingfalsecasesagainstdifferent
persons only with a view to extort money from them and the Accused
persons in the present case have also been falsely implicated by the
Prosecutrix.
45.

It is further, noteworthy that in the course of cross

examinationofProsecutrix'J',Defenceputtohervarioustextmessages
sent on the mobile phone of Accused Rupesh from her mobile Nos.
8882093798 and 8527346190. Prosecutrix 'J' admitted that mobile No.

8527346190ismobilenumberofherhousethoughshedeniedthatmobile
No. 8883093798 belongs to her. When she was questioned about the
aforesaid text messages sent from mobile Nos. 8882093798 and
8527346190tothemobilenumberofAccusedRupesh,shedeniedhaving
sentanymessagetohim,butvoluntarilyaddedthatitmaybepossiblethat
thesaidtextmessagesEx.PW1/D2weresenttoAccusedRupeshbyhis
variousgirlfriends.TheaforesaidexplanationputforthbytheProsecutrix
isnotonlyhighlyimprobable,butalsoapparentlyfalse.
46.

IamalsounabletoacceptthetestimonyoftheProsecutrixthat

she was forced by Accused Rupesh to consume intoxicating liquid on

16.02.2013.ItisalsohighlyimprobablethatfatherofAccusedRupeshi.e.
coAccusedBhagirathwouldbringthesaidintoxicatingliquidinabottle
