7. In this appeal none is appearing on behalf of the appellant. However, I have gone through the record and after hearing the learned Public Prosecutor for the respondent/State, I am of the view that this appeal deserves to be allowed in part.

8. On bare perusal of the testimony of the prosecutrix it is gathered that in the late night at 12:00 appellant entered into her house and caught hold of her hand and when she snatched her hand, appellant disclosed his identity. Specifically this witness has put her inability that why appellant caught hold of her hand, but, thereafter, after changing her version she states that in order to outrage her modesty, the appellant caught hold of her hands. When her father-in-law arrived there, she narrated that appellant had caught hold of her hand, to him also. Thereafter, her father-in-law caught hold of the appellant, but, anyhow the appellant got himself released from the grip of her father-in-law. In cross-examination by changing her version the prosecutrix is saying that appellant caught hold of her leg.
