A case of rape of a 6-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh has been reported since 09.03.2012. In this case, the High Court of the state awarded the death penalty to the accused.
Against the judgment of the High Court, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court on behalf of the accused. The Supreme Court heard the petition and was investigating the details of the case. In this case, the investigation of the case related to this was conducted by a bench consisting of judges S. Abdul Naseer, A. S. Bopanna and V. Ramasubramaniam.
In this case, after the investigation of the case has ended, the High Court has canceled the death sentence awarded in the case of sexually assaulting the girl.
Moreover, the Supreme Court said that the Uttar Pradesh police did not conduct the case of the rape of the girl properly and the evidence given by the prosecution was contradictory and the court failed to take it into consideration.
Apart from that, while the girl's body was said to have been taken to the police station, it was denied during the cross-examination of the witnesses and the post-mortem report was received by the court only late.
And the forensic report on the blood on the clothes of the sexually assaulted and dead child was not proper. Therefore, this bench quashes the death sentence on the grounds of improper trial and lack of evidence.
And the government has done injustice to the accused person. Any claim of the accused is rejected without being accepted. The court has ruled that a person who has been wronged by the government and the court cannot be punished, and the death sentence has been canceled and the court has given a verdict.
It is noteworthy that the Supreme Court's opinion revealed that the government has failed in punishing the real perpetrators of the crime as the cases of sexual violence against women continue to increase in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh.
