The district legal services authority has been directed to pay ₹4 lakh compensation to the victim. The minor had given birth to a baby girl. As per the prosecution, the convict, a resident of Sector-52, Kajheri village, knew the victim and had taken her to the forest area on the pretext of a walk, in November 2022. There, he raped her and threatened her of dire consequences if she revealed the incident to anyone. On August 29, 2023, when the victim complained of stomach pain, her mother took her to Government Multi Specialty Hospital, Sector-16, for treatment. There, the doctors confirmed that the victim was pregnant. After this, a complaint was lodged with the police, on the basis of which the accused was arrested. While passing the order, the court stated that courts are required to be sensitive towards the silent cries of the society and a balance has to be struck between the rights of the accused/convict and the cries of the prosecutrix/victim. 'In the present case, the accused had shown his wicked and evil mind by subjecting a minor victim to penetrative sexual assault. He is liable to be punished sternly,' the court observed. The court convicted the accused under Section 6 of the POCSO Act, which provides for punishment greater in degree as prescribed under provision of Sections 376(3) (rape) of the Indian Penal Code. He was also found guilty under Section 506 (criminal intimidation) for threatening the victim.

The court also imposed a fine of ₹ 37,000 on the convict. (HT photo for representation) As per the prosecution case, on April 18, 2023, the woman, according to police records is a sex worker, was strolling on the road in front of Sham Fashion Mall in Sector 34. When she reached a single road towards the passport office side, a person sitting in a small transport vehicle (Chotta Hathi) signalled her and she went towards him. She sat in the vehicle and went along with him. The accused took her to a remote village in Zirakpur and had physical relations with her after striking a deal for ₹4,000. When she asked for the money, he started to beat her and pressed her neck with a handkerchief while threatening her. Both then consumed drugs together. Sanjay then again had physical relations with her forcefully and later locked her in a room. After two days, Sanjay put her into the vehicle by hiding her under the blanket and dropped her near the temple of Sector 44, Chandigarh. Somehow, she reached the dispensary of Sector 45, Chandigarh. She reported the incident to the police and the accused was arrested. What court said In the detailed judgement, the court stated that although in this case, prosecutrix was a sex worker, even though the adverse effect on her psyche is immeasurable and it certainly would have left a permanent scar on her. Hence, the crime committed by a convict is against the human dignity as well as to the society. So, imposition of lesser sentence is injustice to the victim in particular and to the society in general. Therefore, showing mercy on the convict would be transverse of justice. As per settled law, while deciding the quantum of sentence in rape cases, court must hear the loud cry for justice by the society and respond by imposition of proper sentence. In this case, by trusting the words of the convict that he will pay her for her services, the prosecutrix went with him, but the convict ravished her several times. The plight of the girl and shock suffered by her can be visualised. It is pertinent to mention here that this young girl with the efflux of time would grow with traumatic experience and unforgettable shame.

GCC yet to renew MoU, French classes stalled
Chennai: The fate of French classes that debuted in four Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) schools last academic year is hanging in the balance as the GCC has not renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Alliance Francaise. The language was taught to 20 students each from corporation schools in Perambur, Tondiarpet, Saidapet, and Thiruvanmiyur. It was taught after school hours for interested students with a consent letter from the parents, teachers said.

There were two classes a week, covering 80 hours, he said. A visit by TOI to the schools where the scheme was implemented showed good acceptance among the students. Alliance Francaise also rewarded the top scorer from each school with a free course in French. Shakena Sweety and Yashika, both studying at the Chennai Girls Higher Secondary School in Thiruvanmiyur, said they liked the classes so much that they had full attendance in the course. Their teacher said they were taken to the French embassy twice, were served French delicacies, and had different activities and games to learn the language. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Von Gelenkschmerzen betroffen?

"We learned good vocabulary, and it will be good if it's resumed," said Shakena. Both the faculty at the school level and the course director at Alliance Francaise, Gisele Pio, said they have not received details regarding the next batch yet. "It is to kick off soon, now that schools have just reopened," she said. Muniramaiah U, assistant education officer, said that the MoU will be renewed soon.
