Noting that a hypertechnical and mechanical approach shall do no good to the parties, #AllahabadHighCourt grants bail to a rape accused.
The barely major young man had allegedly enticed away his alleged minor lover and got her pregnant. The girl child is 3.5 years old now.
Court took note of the youth's submission that he and the victim were lovers and due to fear of families and co-villagers who were against their alliance as the two belonged to the same village and community, they eloped and the girl's father filed a case against him.
Court said, "In this conservative and non-permissive society, it is true that marriage in the same village is prohibited and is not customary, and it may be an after effect of media and cinema, instances of marriage in the same village are on the rise."
However, Court noted that the youth in their tender age become victim to the legal parameters, but why should an innocent baby out of no fault of her bear the brutalities of the society.
"The life of a newborn child is at stake", Court said.
Therefore, adopting a pragmatic approach, Court granted bail to the young man.
Court said, "The mathematical permutations and combinations have to be done away with...Human psychosis and that too of the adolescents has to be taken into account."
