HOSHIARPUR: In one of the fastest rulings in a trial court, which highlights the futility of setting up special fast track courts for speedy disposal of cases, a local court on Thursday decided a rape case within eight days of production of challan. Additional district and sessions judge J S Bhinder convicted Jai Prakash Diwedi, alias Pawan Dubey, of Uttar Pradesh, for the kidnapping and rape of a minor girl of a village in Garhshankar subdivision of Hoshiarpur district, and sentenced him to 10 years rigorous imprisonment.
The victim, aged 17 years and two months at the time of the crime, used to work in a factory in Ludhiana, 90 km from here, when she was kidnapped and threatened by the accused in May last year. She was taken to New Delhi, where the accused raped her for 15 days, threatening to kill her younger brother if she told anyone about the rape. The accused later abandoned her at a bus stop in Delhi.
The girl then managed to get to a local gurdwara where she met a young couple. They took her to the house of their landlord, who helped her.
The Punjab police had registered a case against Dubey and two others on August 13, 2012, for abducting and raping a 17-year-old girl. While Dubey was arrested on September 3, the others were nabbed on September 30. The case was committed to the court of subdivisional magistrate which entrusted it to the sessions court on December 22.
The challan was produced in the court on January 2, and the verdict announced on January 10. The court acquitted the other accused and sentenced Dubey to 10 years imprisonment for rape, seven years for abduction to induce a woman for marriage, and five years for kidnapping) of IPC. All the sentences will run concurrently. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 90,000 on the convict, of which Rs 50,000 would have to be paid to the victim as compensation.
