Learned State counsel on instructions from ASI Gurmail Singh points out that due to the nature and gravity of the injuries inflicted on Dalip Kaur, her statement could only be recorded after three months when she was declared fit to make statement. In her statement she has specifically named the petitioner. It is also pointed out that Dalip Kaur is opined to have lost partial eye sight of her right eye besides suffering ten fractures. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, keeping in view the gravity and nature of the offence petitioner does not deserve any leniency. Dismissed.
