2. This appeal has been preferred assailing impugned judgment and order dated 27.8.1998 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge-V Gonda in Sessions Trial No. 422 of 1997. The appellant has been convicted vide impugned judgment and order for offence punishable under Section 376 I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo seven years rigorous imprisonment.

3. It is pleaded in grounds of appeal that trial court has ignored the material evidence and facts available on face of record. It has not applied its judicious mind and totally failed to appreciate evidence of PW-1, PW-2, PW-3 and PW-4 in correct perspective. It has further pleaded that impugned judgment and order under challenge is absolutely contrary to the fundamental principles of natural justice and it is perverse in law and facts both.
