Chennai: The error typing ‘cement’ which was recorded as ‘Semman’ (which means red sand in Tamil) almost allows rape accused of being free of Skot, before Madras High Court stepped and reversed his release by a lower court.
Instead of mention that the genitals of girls and half-year-old had a ‘cement’ trace, Chargesheet mentioned it as ‘Semman’ – which meant red land on genitals.
Quoting ‘dirt’ that might be trapped when a child might play, the Mahila Court Tiruvarur district frees the perpetrators of this case.
Judge P Velmurugan from Madras HC, however, sentenced Prakash from the Tiruvar district until the term five-year prison and directed the government to pay the compensation for the RS 1 Lakh girl.
In September 2017, Prakash raped the child when his mother stepped out to buy food.
Upon returning, the mother found the child crying and seeing white liquid in his personal part.
He admitted the child to the hospital and filed a complaint.
The prosecution told HC that when recording evidence before the court court, the word ‘cement’ in English was typed as ‘Semman’ in Tamil.
Taking advantage of the error conducted by the typist during the trial, the defense argued that what the mother found in her child was ‘red land’ (Semman) and that there was no cement found in children’s underwear.
Judge Velmurugan said investigative officers should make more effort, and add: “The culprit escaped for technical reasons and, unfortunately, the investigative wing also did not match the standard.
Court courts too, sometimes, did not apply their thoughts and carry out their discretionary power Good to redirect to revive or seek evidence outside of a reasonable doubt, benefit the defendant.
But cases like this, we cannot provide many important things for the basic technical evidence.
“As for the two-year delay in submitting complaints, Judge Velmurugan said that in cases like this, where victims were children who could not communicate immediately and mothers, who were illiterate, the delay in archiving should not be fatal in the case of prosecution.
“There is no mother of a victim, especially an illiterate woman in rural areas, will soon go to the police in such cases and prosecution and the court failed in their duties when they emphasized technically such as the delay in complaints,” Judge Velmurugan said.
Showed that police complaints clearly showed that the woman meant white liquid while telling complaints and that it was a typist who wrote the English word ‘cement’ as’ Semman ‘in’ said the judge, “said the judge,” the defense side has taken defense Thin that the mother stated as “Semman color.”
