NOC Given By Complainant & Fact That She Turned Hostile Does Not Waive Off Offence Alleged: Delhi High Court Refuses To Quash Rape FIR

Case: V. P. Singh @ Vijender Pal Singh V. State And Anr.

Coram: Justice Rajnish Bhatnagar

Case No.: W.P.(CRL) 2197/2021

Court Observation: “Act of rape is not an act against individual but this is an offence against the society,”

“In the present case, the petitioner is accused of offence under Section 376 IPC which is a heinous offence and the offence of rape not only destroys the personality of the victim but it also scars the mental psyche of the victim which remain embedded on the mind of the victim for years together. The charges of rape are of grave concern and cannot be treated in a casual manner.”

“The Supreme Court has, time and again, directed that the High Court should not exercise its jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C to quash an offence of rape on the ground that the parties have entered into a compromise,”
