It certainly takes all kinds to make this gargantuan entity that we have since come to know as the world especially people who first accuse others of rape and then renege on their statements as if the allegations made against the alleged assailant were nothing more than a trivial complaint that could be withdrawn depending on the whims and fancies of the complainant........
A sessions court in the national capital let off or recused a man who was actually facing a trial for allegedly having continually raped a supposedly hapless and defenceless widow between August 2012 and December 2013 as the complainant reneged on her original statement and now maintained that the alleged assailant was innocent and hence all charges made against him are thus rendered null and void.......
Additional Sessions Judge Nivedita Anil Sharma let off or recused Delhi resident Mahinder Singh Dahiya after the woman who had accused him off the heinous crime of rape withdrew all the cases filed by her against him in this regard and maintained that he was innocent.......
This bizarre and logic defying order was actually delivered sometime last week but only released to the media late on Tuesday afternoon.......
"She (the victim) has maintained that the accused was innocent and hence is being let off as all charges levelled against him by the victim are being voluntarily withdrawn by her", the court observed in the statement made by it in this regard..........
"The court further noted that the woman (complainant) has neither deposed nor produced an iota of evidence that indeed substantiates her claims or supports her claims of being raped over a long duration. She has never ever uttered or mentioned the word "rape" in her deposition made before this court nor produced a shred of credible evidence to substantiate or uphold the claims made by her", the learned judge concluded.........
According to the police's as well as the public prosecutor's version of events, Dahiya allegedly raped the said widow between August 2012 and December 2013 and also clicked hundreds of photographs with her in several compromising positions after coaxing her to imbibe drug laced tea that rendered her unconscious and helpless for long/interminable periods of time.......
But, their case collapsed under the weight of it's own contradictions as they could neither produce the so called "incriminating" photographs nor credibly establish the claims made about the victim being repeatedly drugged and continually sexually exploited and even more so because the complainant voluntarily withdrew all the complaints that she had made against her assailant in this regard.........
Reneging on her statements made by her before the investigating officer in the presence of a chief judicial magistrate, the victim maintained that she was more than casually acquainted with her so called assailant and had known him quite well for the last five-six years or so; in fact, the complainant even went as far as saying that the alleged rapist had bailed her out financially on numerous occasions........
She even went as far as alleging that she had levelled these serious and life changing allegations against Dahiya at the behest of an anonymous lawyer who promised to net her an enormous sum of money as damages from the so called rapist..........
I for one am of the belief that the court so should no mercy whatsoever to all persons who level such life transforming charges against innocent men just for the sake of it or other pecuniary reasons and throw the book at them with all the power at their end as our so called civilised society shows a remarkable propensity to ostracise and demonise all such so called rapists, clean chit given by the esteemed courts of this land notwithstanding.........
