Citation : 2021 Latest Caselaw 2145 Chatt
Judgement Date : 3 September, 2021
HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR
Order Sheet
CRMP No. 854 of 2021
State of Chhattisgarh Versus Jhuna Ram & Others
03.09.2021 Heard Shri Lalit Jangde, learned counsel for the State on
prayer for grant of leave to appeal.
Though, learned counsel would submit that the prosecution
story of prosecutrix, who is minor, having been subjected to
pregnant because of the sexual intercourse with the juvenile and
there being miscarriage is proved from the evidence of Dr. Lata
Goyal(PW-5), we find that the prosecutrix has not alleged and
involved the respondents/accused in the alleged commission of
offence of causing miscarriage.
In cross-examination, it has been elicited that she had fallen down and sustained injury because of which she started bleeding and was taken to hospital. The evidence of Dr. Lata Goyal (PW-5), at the most, would prove that it was a case of miscarriage but to involve a person and punish for causing of miscarriage, the evidence is absent from the prosecution witnesses and, therefore, we do not find any patent illegality or perversity in the order of the Court below in acquitting the accused by giving him benefit of doubt. Therefore, there is no ground to interfere with the impugned judgment of earlier.
Accordingly, CRMP is dismissed.
