GUMAN MAL LODHA, J. - (1.) A Police Constable has again done it and reminded Supreme Court that though rightly expunged, Justice Mulla had some point of relevance in his classical observations against Indian Police Force. The Police Station has been reduced to, brothel for exploitation of even insane female beggar, which even Mulla did not anticipate.
(2.) "a God cursed insane, poor lady, loitering "like the bagger on the main through after of outside S. M. S. Hospital Jaipur was taken to the Police outpost meant for Providing protection to the victims, poor destitutes and yet the protector became a rapist by committing rape on poor bagger. A Police-Constable has again damaged, blackened and spoiled the image of Police Force of India. Committing the double crime first of loosing control by drinking liquor and then provoking upon sexual lusts becoming worst than cattle, the appellant caught hold of an insane lady, taking her inside the outpost and started fulfilling the sexual lust. Prabhu Dayal by this an inhumane barbaric act betrayed his name and became provide himself as a crual devil. Rameshwari the poor mad lady never knew as to what is going to happen. A few people around the outpost entered the Chowkei for catching Prabhu Dayal red handed and they wanted to take him to the Police Officer, but in between Prabhu Dayal escaped.

(3.) HOWEVER, the State appeal has not been filed for an enhancement which should have been done, normally, in view of the fact that there is no State appeal and the conviction was recorded in 1977, I would not resort to my powers of suo-moto revision for enhancement.
