The Supreme Court’s big statement in the gang rape case.
The Supreme Court has made an important comment on the issue of gang rape. The Supreme Court has clearly stated that there is no need to present strong evidence of the entire act of rape by every accused for convicting everyone in the gang rape case. The court has said that even though a person should rape, other people involved in this act should also be held responsible and a similar punishment should be given.
The accused filed a petition
In fact, a bench of Supreme Court Justice Sanjay Karol and KV Vishwanathan has given this decision, dismissing the plea of an accused. The accused had claimed that his name was not taken along with other accused in the FIR lodged by the victim. The accused had claimed that his role in the crime was only to help the main accused.
What else did the court say?
The Supreme Court bench dismissed the plea of the accused after hearing the case, saying that the crime committed by a man in the gang rape case under Section 376 (2) (G) is enough to punish all the members of the gang. Provided that all of them have done this work with equal intentions. The Supreme Court said that the same intention lies in the charge of Section 376 (2) (G). Evidence is needed to show only the same intentions.
All accused will be guilty of crime
The Supreme Court, dismissing the petition of the accused, also cited the previous decisions. The court has said that under Section 376 (2) (G) of the IPC, the prosecution will have to present evidence to show the crime that more than one accused has committed the crime together. In such a situation, even if a person has committed rape, all the accused will be guilty of this crime. It is not necessary for the prosecution to present the evidence of the entire rape crime by the accused.
