Instances of women filing fictitious, malicious, fabricated or then simply false charges of rape against hapless men out of spite, enimity, greed, avarice or then for any other reason and then withdrawing them arbitrarily certain seem to be on the upswing in the national capital if recent trends are any yardstick to go by..........
A city court yesterday acquitted or absolved a man accused of repeatedly and continually raping a woman after she herself admitted to the fact that the case filed by her against the said man had no substance or grounding and that the same was arbitrarily filed in a fit of pique and angst.........
Following her admission, the fast track court in the national capital let off Delhi resident Sachin Kumar Dagar as the complainant had voluntarily confessed to the fact that she had filed the false and malicious charges against him in a misplaced fit of anger and at the behest of her so called "well wishers"...........
"No inference can be drawn that the accused is indeed guilty of the charged offence under section 376 (rape), read along with section 420 (cheating and dishonesty) and under section 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as the complainant (woman) has woefully failed to produce an iota or shred of evidence to back up or substantiate the charges of rape levelled by her against the accused.......
"In fact, she has not even used the word or term 'rape' in her deposition before this court in the so called evidence produced by her nor mentioned any such fact or occurrence that could conclusively incriminate the accused Sachin Kumar Dagar", Additional Sessions Judge Nivedita Anil Sharma said.......
According to the case presented before the court by the prosecution lawyer or counsel, the woman in question met the accused for the first time in Bhopal way back in December 2012 when she had gone there on the pretext of appearing in an examination.........
Their casual relationship soon blossomed into s deep rooted friendship and subsequently the duo or couple developed physical intimacy amongst themselves between December 2012 and November 2013 and while the supposed victim alluded to the fact that Sachin promised to marry her, she could not substantiate or back up the claims made by her with any evidence or material to prove the same........
"It is all but evident that the sexual relations between the two consenting adults were consensual even if the court momentarily believes or then takes cognisance of the fact that this sexual dalliance was fuelled by the promise of marriage, the fact of the matter is that the complainant was a fully grown and mature woman in her late 20's who was more than inherently capable of deciding whether or not the so called promise of marriage was indeed true or then patently false".........
"Furthermore, the so called victim has herself admitted that she filed a patently false, defamatory and derogatory complaint against the accused firstly because she was extremely irritated and aggravated by the fact that the accused had ended hi relationship with her acrimoniously and secondly because she fell prey to the so called "well meaning" advice rendered by her so called friends and benefactors even though she was in two minds herself about whether or not she should file a complaint against the accused to begin with".........
"Thirdly and most importantly, the court was left with little or no choice in the matter of declaring her as a hostile and prejudiced defendant as she herself went back on the allegations levelled by her against the accused and support the claims made by her against the accused", the learned judge signed off.........
I for one have been at the forefront of the movement to provide women with a safe and secure environment in which they can live, prosper, progress, harbour and nurture their dreams and more than contribute their mite towards the progress and well being of our esteemed motherland, but repeat instances of this kind have even forced a steadfast supporter of stringent rape crimes like me to re-examine my stance and motivations as such instances not only leave a sour taste in the mouth but wonder whether a few scruple less or then should I say conniving women have started misusing these so called stringent anti rape laws for their very own convoluted and warped ends............
