This occurrence was<\/p>\n<p>narrated to the father of the prosecutrix, but out of fear and of loosing face<\/p>\n<p>amongst their co-villagers, they did not report the matter to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Respondents in fact registered a false case against the complainant party.<\/p>\n<p>            There is cogent evidence.

Naseeb Khan was falsely implicated by her cousin Tabu.<\/p>\n<p>She thumb-marked on some blank papers. Naseeb Khan, who is present in<\/p>\n<p>Court, did not commit rape on her.
