MUMBAI: Nearly two years after being sentenced to life imprisonment by a Pocso court for raping a six-year-old girl in 2014, a 28-year-old man was exonerated by the Bombay HC on Monday as DNA of the semen recovered from her dress did not match with the blood sample taken from him. The HC said the child’s inconsistent testimony alone could not be used to convict the accused, reports Rosy Sequeira.
The child was sleeping on the pavement with her family on August 21, 2014, when she disappeared between 2am and 6am. Her mother found her crying nearby and brutalised with a broom. The accused was arrested after the mother said he had ill-intention toward her and her daughter.

The HC said the child’s inconsistent testimony alone could not be used to convict the accused.
A bench of Justices S S Shinde and Makarand Karnik on Monday quashed and set aside the February 5, 2019 conviction saying the child’s inconsistent testimony alone could not be used to convict the accused. “We find it unsafe to convict the accused only on the basis of the testimony of the victim without there being further corroboration to her testimony showing the complicity of the accused,” wrote Justice Karnik for the bench.
