Tag Line: The appellant was sentenced to undergo twenty five years rigorous imprisonment under section 376 PPC--------It is true that time of incident varies in the instant case but that by itself does not negate the prosecution case, as after short span of the time of incident, medical examination of the victim and accused was conducted and DNA report is positive------The evidence of victim has been corroborated by medical evidence----------A girl or woman in our social setup will not normally make false allegations of sexual assault-------------Even a woman would be extremely reluctant even to admit that any incident which is likely to reflect on her chastity ever occurred-----------Moreover, it is not disputed by the defence that rape was not committed on the victim------- Resultantly, appeal is dismissed.
