1. Heard Smt. Nisha Srivastava, learned Amicus Curiae for appellant and Mr. Anurag Verma, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State.

2. This appeal has been preferred against the impugned judgment and order dated 18.05.2010 delivered by the then learned Additional Session Judge, Fast Track Court, Court No.30, Baraanki. Accused-appellant Jagdish Kori is detained in jail and he forwarded on 27.05.2010 this appeal through Jailer, district- Barabanki. The accused-appellant has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 376 I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for ten years and fine of Rs.5000/- along with default stipulation.

Nisha Srivastava, Advocate filed her Vakalatnama on behalf of appellant. Afterwards, on 19.09.2017, she was appointed as Amicus-curiae on behalf of appellant.

4. It is pleaded by the appellant that he is very poor person. There is nobody in his family to do pairavi on his behalf. He has falsely been implicated in this crime. The record of the trial court be summoned and justice be done in this appeal.

5. Learned Amicus-curiae has argued that the victim is deaf and dumb, aged 13 years, whereas her radiological age was found 12 years and below 14 years. Her statement was not recorded during the course of trial with aid of expert. The trial court itself put questions and victim allegedly answered by signs and gestures. The statement of victim is not legally admissible in evidence. It is further argued that PW-1 Dr. Nivedita Kaur has accepted that no external injury was found by her on private part of the victim. She found hymen torned and redness was there around it. No bleeding was found by the doctor, when she medically examined the victim on 07.10.2010.

It is further submitted by learned Amicus-curiae that PW-4 Dr. S.K. Singh is Radiologist and formal witness. PW-7 Sub-Inspector Sri Jang Bahadur Singh, Investigating Officer, has conducted investigation, which is tainted and not impartial. The appellant has falsely been implicated in this crime.
