Summary
Whether the acquittal could be reversed when the prosecutrix and witnesses vacillated and the evidence admitted two reasonable views. HELD- The preliminary inquiry report was only corroborative and could not substitute substantive proof; contradictions and partial retraction by the prosecutrix, with discordant inquiry material, created reasonable doubt. As the Trial Court’s view was possible and lawful, and not perverse, benefit of doubt was rightly given. Appeal dismissed; acquittal affirmed.
