My friend was handed over 7 years under ipc 376 by a sessions court based on the sole statement of the victim "(ii) Normally a woman would not falsely implicate for the offence of rape at the cost of her character.". while every evidence produced by the defendend is against the story of the victim (raped while at work by giving cool drink with sedatives - a cinematic story indeed, while the alleged location where incident took plance was occupied by a tenant and not accessible by the defendant, tenant appeared @ court and produced their evidence that this could not be possible).
It was primarily due to vengance against friends family that she was fired from work and did not accept her love advances (initallay victims complaint included mother, aunty, sister in law of the friend, later droped by prosecution)..
Appeal at high court is on the works..
Kindly share your expert advise..
