State v. Delhi Police Constable
The Sessions Judge convicted Delhi Police Constable for raping and outraging the modesty of 3-1/2-year-old girl V on 11.12.1995 - taking her on the pretext of leaving her to school, carrying her covered in a khes to a tube well in village Shikarpur and raping her vaginally and orally, leaving vaginal tears needing repair under general anaesthesia and 11 days hospitalisation - holding him guilty on 11.09.2001 under sections 376 and 354 IPC, as recorded in the Delhi High Court's 07.07.2008 judgment (CRL.A. 740/2001 with CRL.A. 5/2000 batch). He was sentenced to life imprisonment with Rs 50,000 compensation and six months RI. On appeal the conviction was maintained and the appeal dismissed on merits (counsel pressing only clemency), the court reducing the life term to 12 years RI net given 11 years 9 months already undergone, satisfactory jail conduct and the deposited fine.
