K. Venkateshwarlu Vs. State of Andhra Pradesh

Head Note

Indian Penal Code,1860  - Section 376

Rape - Neither the evidence of parents of victim nor the evidence of victim PW- 2 Aruna, nor the evidence of child witnesses, who claim to have witnessed the incident, nor the medical evidence supports the prosecution case. Besides, all the pancha witnesses have turned hostile, a fact which we have noted with some anguish. A needle of suspicion does point out to the appellant because he is a police constable and in a small village where the incident took place, witnesses may be scared to depose against him because of his clout - But convictions cannot be based on suspicion, conjectures and surmises - The appellant is in jail. He is directed to be released forthwith, unless required in some other case - Conviction set aside.
