Versus

Gargi Minj S/o Parmeshwar Minj Aged About 22 Years R/o Village Vandana, Police Station Sitapur District Surguja Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For State/Petitioner :

Mrs. Hamida Siddiqui, Dy. A.G.

DB : Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Hon'ble Smt. Justice Vimla Singh Kapoor Order On Board 05/01/2021 Heard on application for grant of leave to appeal. 1.

Even if we were inclined to condone delay in filing application, after going through the impugned judgment and particularly the evidence of the prosecutrix (PW6), we are of the opinion that the learned Trial Court had left with no other option but to grant acquittal because the prosecutrix did not at all involve the accused and has turned completely hostile stating that nothing happened to her and because of quarrel in the family, she had left the house. On the face of such evidence, the acquittal of the accused does not suffer from any patent illegality or perversity calling for interference by this Court. 2.

Accordingly, CRMP is dismissed.
