Judgment text as reported

ABDUL REHMAN VS State S. 376---Rape---Appreciation of evidence---Prompt FIR---Solitary statement---Negative DNA report---Effect---Police party was patrolling in the area where they found complainant who informed while weeping that she was subjected to rape by three accused and at the spot pointed out towards them---Accused persons were arrested at the spot while the third accused escaped from the place of incident, so the matter was reported with remarkable promptitude in which the details of the incident were given by prosecutrix in the natural manner and her testimony was confirmed by the police personnel, who were patrolling the area---No ill will or acrimony had been alleged by the accused persons against the police---Argument that DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) report did not connect the accused with the commission of offence was of no substance as number of factors could contribute in a negative finding vis-à-vis matching DNA profile and even slightest interference in handling the samples could alter the result of DNA report---Solitary statement of victim, if rang true, could be relied upon for the purpose of conviction--- Appeal was dismissed.
