 "summary": "The judgment of the Bombay High Court records the following account. Head Constable of Sahar police station took a ~14-year-old beggar girl in an autorickshaw on 17.10.2005 and sexually assaulted her near a temple wall until a passer-by intervened. The trial court convicted him under ss.363, 366, 376(2)(a) and 323 IPC with 15 years RI for rape. The court held the victim a minor whose consent was irrelevant and kept the ss.363/366/323 convictions, but held penetration unproved, converting the rape conviction to attempt under s.376(2)(a) r/w s.511 IPC with sentence reduced to imprisonment already undergone plus Rs.10,000 fine payable to the victim. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
