RAVINDRA SINGH,J. - (1.) HEARD Shri Raj Kumar Khanna, learned Counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A.
(2.) THIS application is filed by the applicant Puran Singh alias Bankan with a prayer that he may be released on bail in Case Crime No. 56/05, under Section 376, I.P.C., PS. Raya, District Mathura. From the perusal of the record it reveals that in the present case F.I.R. was lodged by one Mohan Singh on 25 -3 -2005 at about 11:50 a.m. in respect of incident which had occurred on 25 -3 -2005 at 5:30 a.m.; the distance of police station was 12 -1/2 km. from the alleged place of the occurrence. According to prosecution version the allegation against the applicant is that he has committed the rape with Km. Manju aged about 13 years, forcefully in a field of wheat. When the first informant came to the house it was disclosed by the prosecutrix then the F.I.R. was lodged. According to the medical examination report the prosecutrix was medically examined on 26 -3 -2005 at 10:30 a.m., she was brought by constable Ganesh Kumar. No mark of injury was seen on the external body of the prosecutrix, but on internal examination it was found that her hymen was torn, old healed tears were present and a single perineal tear was seen at 6 O'clock position (midline) 04 mm x 02 mm and mucora deep. There is slight bleeding from this tear. This bleeding was fresh and the duration was of six hours. According to the supplementary medical examination report the age of the prosecutrix was about 15 years and no spermatozoa was seen dead or alive in vaginal region. According to the opinion of the Doctor the injury was caused by hard and blunt object, which could be penis. It is contended by the applicant that the allegation made against the applicant is false and baseless and the prosecution story is not corroborated by the medical evidence because, according to the prosecution version, the alleged incident has taken place on 25 -3 -2005 at about 5:30 a.m., but the prosecutrix was medically examined on 26 -3 -2005 at 10:30 a.m. This examination was done after one day and five hours but according to the medical examination report the duration was mentioned as six hours. It shows that the alleged injury was not caused in the alleged incident dated 25 -3 -2005 occurred at 5:30 a.m. It is further contended that according to the supplementary medical examination report no sperm was found in vaginal region. It shows that the rape was not committed. The injury was caused by some hard or blunt object in some other manner.
(3.) IT is opposed by learned A.G.A. by submitting that in the present case the applicant has committed the rape with a minor girl, aged about 15 years and on internal examination there was a perineal tear at 6 O'clock position and there was a slight bleeding from this tear and this bleeding is fresh. So far as the duration of six hours, as mentioned by the Doctor, is concerned it is based on the self -assessment because there was a bleeding. In mentioning the duration of the injury the mistake may be committed by the Doctor. It is further submitted that there is a definite opinion of the Doctor that injury was caused by hard and blunt object which could be by penis and the applicant has committed the rape forcefully by taking the prosecutrix in a field of wheat, therefore, the prosecution story is fully corroborated by medical evidence as well as the statement of the prosecutrix recorded under Sections 161 and 164, Cr. P.C.;
