1. Ascertaining Attempt to Rape by medical evidence is impossible after all these years.

2. Securing a conviction for 376 r/w 511 (attempt to rape) would be difficult because of above reason, and in absence of the same, cause and effect won't be established which is necessary for making out the offence of abetment.
