Judgment text as reported

ZAHID VS State S. 377-B---Cases of sexual abuse---Delay in lodging FIR---Such delay in reporting the matter to the police was not material in cases of sexual abuse as the victims or their families were reluctant to come forward to promptly report the crime because of the trauma that had been suffered and they may have a perception of shame or dishonour in having the victim invasively examined by a doctor.
