The accused was then convicted by the trial court.<\/p>\n<p>The said plea was filed against the conviction order, with the accused stating that penetration had not been made out and thus the ingredients of IPC Section 376 for rape were not satisfied, the report said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSection 375(b) of the Penal Code recognizes that insertion, to any extent, of any object into the vagina or urethra would amount to rape. Even if it be accepted that the appellant herein forced his organ into the vagina or urethra of the victim despite the victim wearing her underpants, it would still amount to penetration for the purpose of Section 375(b) of the Penal Code. In any event, by virtue of Section 375(c) of the Penal Code, when a person manipulates any part of the body of a woman so as to cause penetration into, inter alia, the vagina or urethra, the act would amount to rape,&#8221;<\/strong> the Court said.<\/p>\n<p>The Meghalaya High Court, thus, upheld a trial court order convicting the accused in 2018 and sentenced him to ten years in jail.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had relied on medical evidence and the accused\u2019s statement under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Code_of_Criminal_Procedure_(India)#:~:text=The%20Code%20of%20Criminal%20Procedure%20commonly%20called%20Criminal%20Procedure%20Code,force%20on%201%20April%201974.\">CrPC<\/a><\/span>) to convict him of rape.<\/p>\n<p>In his plea, the accused said told the high court that if the survivor\u2019s underwear was not taken off and he merely rubbed himself on her crotch, it would not amount to rape and added that the confession before the magistrate should not imply that there was penetrative sex as he lacked formal education.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Also Read<\/span>: <\/strong><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/northeastrising.in\/assam-cm-announces-half-day-leave-for-employees-to-watch-kashmir-files\/\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Assam CM announces half day leave for employees to watch Kashmir Files<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The court, however, said that the evidence must be read in its entirety and some degree of latitude has to be granted to the victim when her statements during cross-examination are analyzed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cOne must read the evidence in its entirety and also be aware of the status of the persons involved, their levels of education, understanding and intellect\u2026In the light of the victim\u2019s assertion in the examination-in-chief, what she said in her cross-examination must be seen in the appropriate perspective and a degree of latitude has to be granted to the victim, even though she was an adult when the trial was conducted, that she would be flustered, nervous and extremely uncomfortable in such details being sought,&#8221;<\/strong> the Court said.<\/p>\n<p>Even if her cross-examination is taken at face value, it would not imply that there was no penetrative sex, the high court noted in view of the medical reports that confirmed the offence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shillong, March 16:\u00a0A division bench of the Meghalaya High Court has held that merely because a rape survivor did not experience pain in her genitalia and was wearing underwear when subjected to rape, it cannot be proof that there was no penetration, adding that \u201cinsertion, to any extent, of any object into the vagina or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":17647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"spay_email":""},"categories":[66,61,27],"tags":[2469,255,760],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.1 -
