State of Maharashtra, through P.S.O. P.S. Bramhapuri, Chandrapur v. Umesh S/O Madhukar Raut
Case brief
What is this about?
A two-fold order: the High Court disposed of Criminal Application No. 80 of 2016 allowing it and condoning delay. In a note on Criminal Appeal No. of 2016, the court rejected the challenge to the acquittal of the accused in Special Child Case No. 33 of 2014, finding no perversity in the trial judge's conclusion that the act was consensual and the prosecutrix was over 18 years.
What did the court decide?
Application allowed; delay condoned. Criminal Appeal against acquittal implicitly rejected.
