chapetmarunga Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Mahmood Farooqui rape acquittal 'extremely well decided', says Supreme Court, dismissing appeal against earlier verdict https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/mahmood-farooqui-rape-acquittal-extremely-well-decided-says-supreme-court-dismissing-appeal-against-earlier-verdict/articleshow/62566322.cms The SC said while dismissing the appeal against the Delhi HC's verdict that Farooqui and the alleged rape victim were good friends and had sexual interaction prior to the incident and therefore there is no reason to believe that they didn't have consensual sex."We are satisfied with HC verdict and we will not interfere in it," said the SC. In a controversial verdict, the Delhi high court had said when someone says "no", it might not always mean "no". It further said that there were examples of "woman's behavior (where)... a feeble 'no' may mean a 'yes' " in cases of past intimacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
