New Delhi, March 24: A Delhi court has sentenced a man to nearly seven months in prison for outraging a woman’s modesty, while acquitting him of charges of raping her on the ground that her testimony was not reliable.
While convicting the man for outraging the modesty of the woman, Additional Sessions Judge Ramesh Kumar set off his sentence against his prison term of his six months and twenty five days that he had already undergone during his trial and set him free.
“After the arguments, facts, circumstances and perusal of record, this court is of opinion that the statement of prosecutrix is highly improbable as same has not been corroborated by medical evidence,” ASJ Kumar said, while acquitting the North Delhi resident of the charges raping his 25-year-old neighbour.
