No oral and documentary evidence was adduced on the side of the defence. The Court below, on appreciation of oral and documentary evidence adduced on behalf of the prosecution, found the appellants / accused 1 and 2 guilty and convicted and sentenced them as stated above. Aggrieved over the same, A1 has preferred Crl.A.No.915 of 2022 and A2 has preferred Crl.A.No.492 of 2023. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant in Crl.A.No.915 of 2022 / A1 would put forth the following contentions: 3.1. The evidence of PWs.1 and 2 is not supported by eye witnesses PWs.4 and5. There are material contradictions between Ex.P17 – Copy of Accident Register used by the Doctor who examined initially the victim girl / PW1 and Ex.P25 – FIR regarding the name of the accused who committed forcible sexual intercourse with the victim and both documents are contradictory to each other. 3.2. There are material contradictions between the evidence of PWs.17 and 18 namely the doctors who given treatment to the victim / PW1 regarding the place of occurrence and accompanied by the police while at the time of examination of victim / PW1 by them. 3.3. The Identification Parade conducted by PW20 as per the directions of CJM, Vellore, the mode of identification parade adopted against only unknown persons, but on the contrary, FIR contains the names of the accused while at the time of registration of the case. 3.4. 3.3. The Identification Parade conducted by PW20 as per the directions of CJM, Vellore, the mode of identification parade adopted against only unknown persons, but on the contrary, FIR contains the names of the accused while at the time of registration of the case. 3.4. The Court below failed to see that Ex.P25 – copy of the FIR contained the names of the accused and there was no explanation from the prosecution that how their names identified before registration of the case. Therefore, conviction and sentence imposed by the Trial Court is liable to be set aside. 4. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant in Crl.A.No.492 of 2023 / A2 would put forth the following contentions: 4.1. There are material contradictions between the evidence of PWs.17 and 18, namely doctors who gave treatment to the victim / PW1 regarding the place of occurrence and accompanied by police at the time of examination of the victim / PW1 by them. 4.2. PW6 was examined as Supervisor of the showroom where PWs.1 and 2 were working and PW6 has not produced any documentary evidence as to the employment of PWs.1 and 2 such as attendance sheet etc., to prove that they were working and were on duty on the date of occurrence. There is no material produced by the prosecution that PWs.1 and 2 have travelled by bus from their working place to Vellore Fort on the alleged date of occurrence. Hence it is doubtful that both Pws.1 and 2 have really went to the Vellore Fort park or not. No one is allowed in the Vellore Fort beyond 8.00 p.m. to avoid criminal offences like in this case. When it is so, it is false to state that the accused were seen smoking there as stated by Pani Puri sellers, namely PWs.4 and 5. They have not identified the accused. 4.3. The alleged place of occurrence is an open ground grass surfaced and 100 feet from there is surrounded by iron fencing nearby Traffic police booth with vehicle movements and the victim girl / PW1 could have shouted for seeking the help of others. 4.4. The complaint has been given with the names of the accused and without knowing them, how such complaint can be given with the names of the accused. These aspects raises serious doubt about the prosecution case. 4.4. The complaint has been given with the names of the accused and without knowing them, how such complaint can be given with the names of the accused. These aspects raises serious doubt about the prosecution case. PW1 admits that the Vellore North Police Station is near to the Vellore Fort and despite such harms to her, why she has not preferred any complaint immediately to the police station, which is very near to the place of occurrence. PW1 stated that her mother signed in the complaint at the Government Hospital, whereas PW21 has stated that the FIR produced in the Court was recorded by her, which creates serious doubt about the registration of the case. 4.5. The evidence of PW2 is unclear with inconsistencies. When the alleged occurrence took place at dark night, how they have identified the accused in the Test Identification Parade, it is suspected that the accused could have been shown to PWs.1 and 2 in the police station so as to enable them to identify them in the Test Identification Parade. PWs.1 and 2 identified the accused wrongly, which was recorded by the Magistrate, which creates doubt whether the occurrence has been really happened or not ? 4.6. The police has also not stated as to the reason for which forensic examination was sought when they sent the stained clothes. The knife which was recovered from the accused were not recovered in the presence of PW2. 4.7. The prosecutrix did not lodge complaint immediately before police station, instead she has stated that she went to the Government Hospital Vellore along with his cousin brother and if at all she is the victim of such crimes, why she has not preferred complaint to the police at the first instance. 4.8. PW17 Doctor deposed that PW1 was sexually assaulted by three unknown persons, but the said doctor has not recorded the details of persons, who brought the prosecutrix to the hospital. PW17 has stated that he has inadvertently written the date of AR as 19.01.2020, therefore, it cannot be said that the injuries caused to the prosecutrix were caused by the accused alone. PW18- Doctor, who medically examined PW1 has not explained about the injuries in the lips of PW1. 4.9. PW19 has not stated anything about the collection of blood and sperm samples from the accused, when he had examined them. 4.10. PW18- Doctor, who medically examined PW1 has not explained about the injuries in the lips of PW1. 4.9. PW19 has not stated anything about the collection of blood and sperm samples from the accused, when he had examined them. 4.10. PW21- Sub Inspector of Police, has deposed that when she recorded the statement of PW1 under Ex.P1, it has been stated about an unknown Auto Driver, whereas in the printed FIR format, it is not known how the names of all the accused got mentioned. The prosecution has failed to prove the case beyond all reasonable doubt and therefore, the conviction and sentence imposed by the Court below is liable to be set aside. 5. Per contra, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent / State would submit that the guilt of the accused stands proved by the evidence of the victim girl / PW1 and her lover / PW2, who is also a victim of the crime and the other evidences corroborated the evidence of the victims clearly and cogently and they clearly identified the accused in the Test Identification Parade. Rape was proved by the medical evidence and the report of the forensic authorities corroborating the evidence of the prosecutrix and her lover and also through their statements recorded under Section 164 CrPC. The prosecution has proved the case beyond all reasonable doubt and prays for dismissal of these criminal appeals. 6.
