However, learned counsel for the applicant has referred to the fact that the prosecutrix, admittedly, was first taken to Mohindergarh, then to Jaipur, Narnaul and back to Mohindergarh in public transport. Further contends that despite the fact that the prosecutrix remained with the applicant for 4 days, no resistance was shown, which establishes consent. The question of age of the prosecutrix would be a matter of evidence as it is stated to be 16-1/2 years. Further states that the appeal would not be heard in the near future.
