While rejecting a false rape case, a court here ordered that the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) sufficiently prepare its counsellors presented at police headquarters on offer help to rape allegations by Indian women and not to encourage them to file false rape cases.
Additional Sessions Judge Arun Grover Baliga gave the advice to the Women rights commission when a Indian Woman in her statement under the watchful eye of the court said that "she had mentioned the allegations of rape in her complaint [to the police] only on the advice of the NGO counsellor at Sarojini Nagar police station".
“This court has found the prosecutrix to be a very credible witness because she honestly narrated the entire facts in her deposition and did not make any efforts to conceal the fact that it was the attitude of her own grandfather which caused problems in the finalisation of her marriage with the accused. She has also very forthrightly admitted that she was never fraudulently induced by the accused to have sexual relations.” “In the considered opinion of this court, had the counsellor at the police station not given wrong advice to the prosecutrix to make false allegations against the accused only to rope him in a case of rape, the accused would not have had to spend 22 days in judicial custody and perhaps the parties may have amicably settled their disputes,” said the judge.
The allegations against the accused stated that he had sexually assaulted the victim several times on the pretext of marrying her.
