The incident of sexual assault by a tuition teacher is of March 1984. The trial court convicted the man in 1986. Allahabad high court took 26 years to uphold the trial court verdict and SC another 15 years to do the same. When the girl went for tuition on March 19, 1984, the teacher sent out the two other girls for different works and sexually assaulted the girl after gagging her and locking the room from inside. The other two girls knocked on the door, but it was not opened. Eventually, the grandmother of the girls came and rescued the girl. The girl’s family attempted to lodge an FIR, the inhabitants of the mohalla and family members of the accused threatened them. Despite the threats, the FIR was lodged after some delay. The bench also said that it is a settled principle of criminal jurisprudence that the evidence of a prosecutrix in a case of rape carries the same value as that of an injured witness and conviction can be made on the basis of the sole testimony of the prosecutrix. The case also reflects a sad state of affairs of the three-tier judiciary system where trial courts are far more prompt in rendering decisions in criminal cases compared to constitutional courts.
