witnesses and mainly the evidence of prosecutrix an admittedly mentally retarded woman of adult age. Also the substantive evidence of her mother was gone through. It is argued that admittedly the brother and father i.e. PW 3 and 4 and both the neighbours who are PW 9 and 10 did not support the case of the prosecution. According to the case of the prosecution, there were two incidents of gang rape committed by both these applicants on the prosecutrix PW1. First one was about a year prior to August, 2012 and second one was on 1st August,2012. The FIR was lodged on 5th August, 2012 on the complaint lodged by the prosecutrix. It is brought to the notice of this Court, apart from the hostility of the real brother and father of the prosecutrix and two neighbours that the prosecutrix admitted demand of Rs.15000/ by her mother from the applicants to hush up the matter. It is further argued that possibly it was the reason for belated lodging of FIR, after four days. In short, it is argued on behalf of the applicants that this is a matter in which there are great chances of success in the appeal.
