After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “offences allegedly committed by the accused carry punishment of life imprisonment and serious in nature”, adding “it is considered to be a menace and threat to the society as a whole and the accused person, resorted to such activities which demean the psychology development of a woman”.
“The crime of rape is not only a crime against a person/or woman but it is a crime against the whole society. No doubt personal liberty guaranteed to the accused is undoubtedly his valuable right under Article 21 of the Constitution but the same can be refused to the accused in accordance with the procedure established under law”, the court said.
