appears to be a prompt lodging of the FIR. In the FIR itself the Prosecutrix has implicated the three Appellants herein as accused. Thus there does not appear to be a false implication of the Appellants as an afterthought. In the FIR itself, she had narrated the over-act on the part of each of the Appellants and therefore there is no reason to doubt the prosecution story. Further, what also reflects to take note of is the fact that, none of the Appellants have proved their case to establish any sort of animosity between the Prosecutrix or her family members with any of the Appellants, which let to the filing of the false complaint. Furthermore, if we look into the evidence particularly, the medical evidence that of PW-7 Dr. (Smt) Rashmi Singh, who had examined the Prosecutrix on the date of lodging of the FIR itself, i.e., on 18.7.1993, she has given a positive report of the Prosecutrix being subjected to sexual intercourse immediately prior to the conducting of the medical examination. PW-7 also found that there was swelling at the private part of the Prosecutrix which all the more suggests of her being ravished. Another vital fact which further becomes incriminating against the Appellants, is the fact that the Prosecutrix (PW-1) in her evidence before the Court below has specifically identified the three Appellants and has also given the description of the nature of work that they were discharging, i.e., one being the Driver and other being Conductor and the third being the Helper in the Bus. That the defence has not been able to extract much from the cross-examination to doubt her statement both so far as the factual matrix is concerned and also in respect of the identification part so as to look at the statement of the Prosecutrix with doubt. The statement of the Prosecutrix also has been fully corroborated with the evidence of PW-2 Vinod Kumar Ekka, the brother of the Prosecutrix, and from whose crossexamination also the defence has not been able to extract much by which a suspicion or a doubt can be generated.
