LILIA @ RAM SWAROOP vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN — Crl.A. No. 595/2004

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 595/2004 Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and acquitted the appellant Lilia @ Ram Swaroop, setting aside his conviction for rape under Section 376 IPC and the four-year sentence imposed by lower courts. The Court found the prosecution's case unacceptable and far-fetched—the witness story of observing 15 minutes of rape without intervening was implausible, the alleged victim's medical examination showed no physical injuries despite claimed resistance, and the independent eyewitness was not examined. Next steps: Bail bonds furnished by the appellant stand discharged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
