Judgment text as reported

MANZOOR AHMED VS State Ss. 376(2), 363, 337-a(ii), 337-L(2), 147, 148 & 149---Gang rape, abduction---Reappraisal of evidence---Five members of the victim's family who were injured during the occurrence unanimously blamed the accused and co-accused persons for having intruded into their dwelling to abduct the victim---Victim was recovered by the police after almost four months from the house of a co-accused---Medical evidence confirmed carnal assault with a fetus in its aftermath, leaving no space to entertain any hypothesis other than sexual assault---Witnesses were in a comfortable unison with each other---Victim also provided graphic details of abduction and subsequent treatment meted out during her captivity---Statement of the victim did not admit of the slightest doubt and as such by itself constituted formidable evidence to independently drive home the charge with the support of irrefutable clinical evidence, preponderance whereof did not require a confirmatory D.N.a. profile generation, a facility otherwise scarcely available in the year 2012, when the incident took place---Furthermore in a rural neighbourhood, it was hard to believe that a family would join hands to level a false accusation at the cost of a perennial stigma, that too, without any motive or reason---Even investigative conclusions did not admit the hypothesis of a false case---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, leave was refused, and conviction and sentences recorded against the accused were maintained.
