Versus

Vinod Kumar Lodhi, S/o. Late Kushal Prasad Lodhi, aged about 39 years, resident of Bilasa Dairy, Mopka, Police Station Sarkanda, District Bilaspur (CG) ---- Respondent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the Appellant :- Mrs. Hamida Siddique, Dy. AG For the respondent :- None ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Hon'ble Smt. Justice Vimla Singh Kapoor, Order on Board By Manindra Mohan Shrivastava , J.

20.01.2021 Heard on the application for grant of leave to appeal.

2. Even if, we are inclined to condone the delay in filing the application, we do not find any merit in the application because the respondent has been granted acquittal due to reasonable doubt created on the story of the prosecution particularly in view of the evidence of the prosecutrix who in her cross-examination has stated that her hands was not tied and that no sexual intercourse was committed by the accused. The application is therefore, rejected as without merit. Accordingly the CRMP is dismissed.
