Allahabad High Court Acquits Man in 1986 Rape Case Citing Insufficient Evidence
The Allahabad High Court overturned a 1988 conviction of Subhash in a 1986 rape and kidnapping case, citing insufficient evidence and inconsistencies in the prosecution's case. The court noted the victim, then over 19, appeared to be a consenting party and found no medical proof of rape. Subhash, who remained on bail during the trial, was acquitted and not required to surrender. The state opposed the appeal, emphasizing the victim's testimony, but the court ruled the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
