Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.24225 of 2015 (3) dt.07-10-2015
Submission is of false implication and that no medical examination has been done as to whether rape was committed or not. The petitioner is suffering in custody since 11.03.2015 without any legal and cogent evidence. No witness has seen the petitioner committing rape and as such, he deserves sympathetic consideration to which the learned APP opposes by submitting that the informant and her friend Santoshi Das in their statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. have supported the allegation
of rape.
