GABBU vs STATE OF M.P. — Crl.A. No. 791/1998

The Supreme Court set aside Gabbu's conviction under Sections 366 and 506-B IPC, finding insufficient evidence that he abducted the woman with intent to seduce her to illicit intercourse. The Court found grave doubts regarding the location of the incident, inconsistencies in the prosecutrix's testimony, unexplained delay in FIR registration, and lack of proof of criminal intent—noting Gabbu abandoned the woman at Gunabad while the actual sexual assault was committed by co-accused Sheru.
