Case No.10 of 2024 registered under Sections 370, 376, 367, 366/34 of Indian Penal Code, has been rejected. 2. It has been contended by learned counsel for the appellant that it is a case where none of the ingredients either of section 370 or section 376 of Indian Penal Code or any other criminal offences under which the FIR was instituted, is attracted, even if the entire prosecution story is taken into consideration. 3.
