casestatus.in Summary

Summary: On 23 March 2004, the Supreme Court allowed Ehsan Qureshi's criminal appeal against his conviction under Section 376 IPC (rape) for an alleged incident on 3 December 1986. The trial court had sentenced him to 7 years rigorous imprisonment, and the High Court of Madhya Pradesh had upheld the conviction. The Supreme Court found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, noting inconsistencies including the 10-day delay in disclosure to the victim's mother, lack of immediate complaint, and evidence suggesting possible consent. The Court acquitted the appellant and discharged him from bail bond liability. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
