NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR CRA No. 1089 of 2012 Thepa Kindo S/o Shri Ghasiya @ Libdu Kindo, aged about 19 years, Occupation- Agriculturist R/o. Village Mahua Tikra, P.S. Pathalgaon, District Jashpur (C.G.).

---- Appellant

Versus

State of Chhattisgarh Through: Police Station Pathalgaon, Distt. Jashpur (C.G.) ---- Respondent For Appellant :

Mr. C.K. Nawrang, Advocate For Respondent :

Mr. Neeraj Sharma, Dy. Govt. Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Arvind Singh Chandel Judgment on Board 24/02/2018 1.

The Appellant has been convicted under Section 376 (1) of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 7 years and to pay fine of Rs. 1000/- with default stipulation. 2.

A certificate of incarceration sent by the Jail Superintendent, Central Jail, Ambikapur dated 24/01/2018 would mention that the Appellant has undergone the entire jail sentence imposed upon him by the Trial Court and already released on 18/12/2014.

3.

I have heard Learned Counsel for the parties and perused the record to assess the correctness of the impugned judgment of conviction. 4.

The Appellant has allegedly committed rape with the prosecutrix

(PW1). The case of the prosecution is based on the statement of the prosecutrix (PW1). She has duly supported the case of the prosecution and her statement is duly corroborated by his father- Sukul (PW2) and also by her medical report (Ex.P-4). 5.

Considering the material available on record, I do not find any merit in this appeal.

6.

Consequently, the appeal deserves to be and is hereby dismissed. Sd/- Judge Arvind Singh Chandel Rahul
