Supreme Court Verdict in 40 Year old case injury to private parts not necessary to prove

Supreme Court Verdict: The Supreme Court made important remarks while giving verdict in a 40 -year -old rape case. The apex court said that it is not necessary to have injury marks on the private part to prove rape. For this, other evidence can also be made the basis. The Supreme Court upheld the trial court’s decision convicting the tuition teacher with his own student of rape.

The teacher said that there was no mark of injury on the victim’s private parts, so the rape cannot be proved. He said that the victim’s mother has falsely accused her. Justice Sandeep Mehta, Justice Varale and Justice Prasanna B bench, who are hearing the case, said that there were no bruises found in medical reports, but other evidences cannot be dismissed. Justice Varale said that it is not necessary that in every case of rape, only marks of injury should be found on the victim’s body. Any case depends on the circumstances. Therefore, injury marks on the victim’s body cannot be considered necessary to prove the allegations of rape.

What did the bench say on the teacher’s allegations?

Regarding the allegations of the teacher on the victim’s mother, the bench said that there is no point in going into such things about this case. We have not known any reason, due to which the mother should make her daughter a victim and file a false case to trap the teacher.
