The Madhya Pradesh High Cout recently said that a delay of six to nine days in filing a first information report (FIR) in an attempt to rape case is "unnatural". The state's top court observed while setting aside a judgment against a man accused of attempting to rape. The high court bench of Justice Prem Narayan Singh found that scratch injuries sustained by the victim in an attempt to rape case have no meaning when there is a delay of six to nine days in filing of FIR after the date of the alleged incident. "So far as the injuries on the person of prosecutrix is concerned, since the FIR was lodged by delay of six to nine days from the incident, such injuries of scratches has no meaning," the court said. The high court observed while dealing with a plea filed by a man named Golu, who was convicted of having attempted to rape a woman. The trial court had found him guilty of the aforesaid offence and sentenced him to imprisonment for 15 years. The high court allowed the man's appeal and set aside the trial court judgment while acquitting Golu. HC on Hate Speech: Madhya Pradesh High Court Refuses Man’s Plea To Quash Hate Speech FIR Against Him Over Instagram Post ‘Insulting Religious Beliefs’.
