“In a heart rending plea, a
person acquitted of rape charges has moved the Supreme Court
seeking restoration of his lost dignity and honour.
The 2006
Mayapuri rape had shocked the capital as a hearing and speech impaired
pregnant woman was sexually assaulted in a moving car. The petitioner, who was
running a diagnostic centre, was in jail for more than four years before a
trial court acquitted him”.
This news is from Times of India (
In 1960s BR Chopra’s film ‘khanoon’ raised a similar
question. Actor Jeevan ia sentenced to
years in jail for committing a murder. The person murdered is alive.
Jeevan after release from jail shoots the man dead. In the court room Jeevan
questions the judge, “ can you punish a man twice for the same offence? And can
you give back my years spent in confinement?” Solution is not given. Jeevan
collapses in the witness box and is dead.
