Showing contexts for: false charges in Prempal & Ors. vs The Commissioner Of Police & Ors. on 25 March, 2010Matching Fragments
18. In the above background, the false implication of Prempal in FIR No.231 of 2002 assumes serious proportions. The offence was under
Section 376 IPC and for a heinous crime of child rape. The Delhi Police has slapped Prempal with false charges for an offence in relation to which it would have been next to impossible for him to obtain bail and even more difficult to avoid trial. And, since they were able to demonstrate his „criminal‟ background, notwithstanding the number of acquittals, the Delhi Police had Prempal done in for. It was fortunate that Prempal was able to establish his innocence in this case and justice prevailed. However, by this time Prempal was obviously a man broken in spirit and in health. The illegal actions of the Respondents have not only taken away precious years of Prempal‟s life, which can never be retrieved, but has caused irreparable damage to his reputation.
