Allahabad HC Reprimands Gang-Rape Victim's Mother For False Affidavit Alleging Detention Of Daughter By Local Police [Read Order]

Live Law

The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday reprimanded the mother of a gang-rape for falsely alleging the detention of her daughter by the local police. The bench of Justices Shashi Kant Gupta and Pankaj Bhatia had on Tuesday taken cognisance of the alleged detention of the gang-rape victim in a police station, purportedly from a day after the court had pulled up the state police for lodging the FIR only after three months of the incident, and that too only upon the Court's intervention. On Wednesday, the girl was produced before the Court and on a specific query made by the Court, she had categorically stated that she was never detained by the Police Authority, as such, the affidavit filed by the mother of the victim girl appeared to be false to the bench. "Such gross negligence and laxity on the part of the Police Department is highly deprecated and such gross negligence, and if we may say so 'callousness', is unbecoming of the conduct of a responsible officer entrusted with the obligation of performing the duties of a Public Office", observed the Allahabad High Court on Wednesday, in context of the FIR for gang-rape having been lodged after more than three months of the incident, and that too after the Court's intervention.
