Her husband was not at home and they waited for him. On this report P/s Domana registered FIR No. 219 of 2003 for offences punishable u/s 376 RPC against accused Mohan Lal and started investigation and after completion of investigation police presented challan in the court of law u/s 376 RPC against accused.

The punishment provided for the offence under section 376 RPC is imprisonment for a period not less than 7 years but may extend to 10 years or for life. Taking into the account the facts and circumstances of the case, age of the accused and the fact that he has minor children, old aged parents and having faced the trial since 2003, in my opinion sentence of imprisonment for a period of 07 years will be just and proper.
