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.

Learned Amicus-curiae has further stated that PW-2 Samsuddin, father of the victim, is not the eye witness and PW-3, mother of the victim- PW-5 have been posed as eye witness, whereas she has not seen the incident as narrated by her. 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. It is also argued by the learned Amicus-curiae that semen was not found on the clothes provided to the Investigating Officer. There is contradiction in statements of PW-3 and PW-5 regarding the fact, who provided clothes to the Investigation Officer PW-5 either PW-3 or Dr. PW- 1. There is delay in lodging the First Information Report of this case, which has not been properly explained.
