IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Appeal (DB) No.949 of 2011 Saniya Khatoon daughter of Md.Shahid Mian, resident of village + P.S.Giriak, District Nalanda ---------- Appellant Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Md.Babloo son of Md.Maksud Alam @ Maksud Mian, resident of village Giriak Madarasha Tola, P.S.Giriak, District Nalanda ------ Respondents ---------------------------------- 04/ 03.11.2011 Heard. This appeal has been filed against the judgment of acquittal dated 8th July, 2011 passed by Sri Arun Kumar Srivastava, Sessions Judge, Nalanda in Sessions Trial No. 749 of 2010. It appears that the occurrence alleged to have taken place on 20.12.2009 when complaint was filed on 20.3.2010. The delay has been explained by the prosecution to the effect that there was some settlement going on between the parties. The settlement was admitted by the prosecution when respondent no.2 was 2 granted bail by a Bench of this court on 17.09.2010 vide Cr.Misc. No. 27019 of 2010. The evidence of P.W.6, the doctor, who examined the victim does not reflect any external injury nor the recent indication of sexual assault. Considering the medical evidence as well as the delay in lodging the complaint, we do not find any perversity in appraisal of the evidences. Accordingly, this appeal is without merit and is dismissed. Tahir/- (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.) ( Dinesh Kumar Singh,J.)
