However, according to her she found tenderness in the internal part of her private organ. According to her, the age of the victim girl was 12/13 years. 7. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant has submitted that the offence of rape is not established against the appellant since the victim girl did not identify the appellant during the course of evidence and the other material witnesses. PWs 1 and 2 have turned hostile. 8. The victim girl in her statement has stated that there had been compromise in this case between the parties. This was the reason that the mother PW-2 and other witnesses PWs 3, 4 and 5 gave their statement not supporting the version of the prosecution case as stated by the victim girl. PW-2 had gone out to work in a social function and due to compromise unsupproting, stated that while she returned her daughter did not complain her that she was raped.
PW-2 had gone out to work in a social function and due to compromise unsupproting, stated that while she returned her daughter did not complain her that she was raped. The offence of rape not being compoundable the witnesses in view of compromise arrived at between Informant and appellant have intentionally tried to help the Informant by not supporting the case of the prosecution. 9. The victim girl has very vividly given the description of rape committed on her which seems to be truthful and natural. This witness had also named this appellant in her First Information Report to the Police. She has also in her cross examination accepted that there was compromise between the parties. As such in her evidence she has stated that she did not identify the appellant and she named him as told by her father. But since she had already named him in her statement before the Police as such the identity of the appellant has been corroborated and can not be disputed. Her later statement in the Court that she failed to identify the appellant does not discredit her earlier statement relating to the identity of the appellant. 10. PW-1, father of the Informant during his evidence has stated that he was in the house and appellant came to his residence and they had a talk. On his request he went to purchase liquor from a nearby country liquor shop for him, for which appellant gave him money. While he returned he saw appellant rushing from his home. In the house he found her daughter weeping who told him that the appellant has dishonoured her and also threatened her not to disclose about the rape. From his statement it is also clear that she made the complete disclosure of the offence to her mother in detail, when she returned home. It has been further stated by PW-1 that next morning her daughter narrated about the occurrence of rape committed by the appellant to the Police. He has also stated that First Information Report was lodged on her statement. During his cross examination he has also stated that there had been compromise between them. However, he had denied the suggestion that the persons inimical to the appellant instigated him to implicate the appellant falsely. The statement of PW-1 as well fixes the identity of the appellant. 11.
During his cross examination he has also stated that there had been compromise between them. However, he had denied the suggestion that the persons inimical to the appellant instigated him to implicate the appellant falsely. The statement of PW-1 as well fixes the identity of the appellant. 11. In view of discussions made above there is adequate evidence to establish the indentity of the appellant Naresh Singh who committed the crime. The doctor, PW-1 has stated that the victim was only 28 kg. in weight and had only 12 teeth both on upper and lower jaw and even her chest was not developed. However, the found tenderness in the inner part of her private organ. She also opined that her age was 12/13 years. However, she did not find any external sign of injury of the private part. 12. The appellant Naresh Singh during his statement under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Court did not give any reason as to why the victim and his father would implicate him on false charge. No previous enmity between the parties was brought on the record. Though apparently the medical expert had not supported the case of rape but tenderness in the inner part of the private organ coupled with detail of occurrence narrated by the victim girl is sufficient to constitute the offence of rape even in absence of discharge of semen. The Court below has rightly come to the conclusion by its elaborate discussion that the charge of rape has been fully established against the appellant beyond doubt. 13. Therefore, taking into consideration the facts noticed above. I find no reason to interfere with the impugned judgment. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
