38. Knowing well that the prosecutrix is a jailbait i.e. A girl with whom sexual intercourse is punishable as statutory rape due to under the age of consent, the accused should not have bitten the bait. It stands established that both the accused worked cheek by jowl. Without the active connivance of Usha, it was not possible for Satinder to perpetrate the offence of rape. The evidence manifests the quilt of the appellants. I see no reason to reduce the minimum sentence awarded by the trial court. Appeal is meritless and therefore, dismissed.
