In this case [Chaitu Lal vs. State of Uttarakhand], it was proved that the accused had pounced upon the victim, sat upon her and lifted her petticoat while she protested against his advancements and wept. One of the witness was a neighbour. When he reached the spot hearing the commotion, the accused had run away. The High Court had upheld the conviction recorded by the Trial Court for attempt to rape. The court noted that, had there not been an intervention of the neighbour, the accused would have succeeded in executing his criminal design. The conduct of the accused in the present case is indicative of his definite intention to commit the said offence, the bench said while upholding conviction. . . . . . . . . #lawenforcement #law #legal #landmarkjudgements #supremecourt #justice #rapecases #lawstudents #judges #court #lawofcrime #section376ipc #llb #llm #judiciary #lawenteranceexam #educator #educateyourself #generalknowledge https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HetkIDJ05/?igshid=9d0oirs3kvib
