2. Before proceeding to discuss the prosecution case and the evidence, we feel it prudent to mention here that we noticed a rustic lady with a rumpled saree and unkempt hair, looking more aged than her age standing in a corner of the Court with a baby in her arms. She would be present in the Court from the time of sitting of the Court at 10:30 A.M. and she would be there till the rising of the Court sometime even beyond the Court hours. We watched her for two days
