CW-2013-0007Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, PunjabJudgment 4 July 2013
Charanjit and Ors. v. State of Punjab and Anr.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of Balachaur SHO Radha Krishan and two policemen convicted of detaining a dai overnight on 9 February 1989 and gang-raping her after picking her up for interrogation about terrorists frequenting her house. The Court sustained the concurrent findings under Sections 323/34, 504/34, 376(2)(a) and 376(2)(g), plus Section 342 against the SHO, believing the victim consistent account corroborated by her husband and neighbour who saw her bleeding and torn-clothed on release. It rejected the police claim of same-evening release with a signed writing, noting the station Daily Diary and Register II were suppressed. No medical evidence existed as doctors refused examination under SHO pressure. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.
