Harpal Singh And Anr. vs State Of Himachal Pradesh on 14 November, 1980

22. As already stated above, the prosecutrix PW2 Pinky was below 16 years of age on the date of occurrence. It has also been held that prosecutrix PW2 Pinky was consenting party. However, if the victim is below 16 years, the question of consent does not arise, as held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Harpal Singh v. State of Himachal Pradesh (supra). Therefore, in this case, consent of the prosecutrix PW2 Pinky so far as the offence of rape is concerned, would have no effect. The theory of consent may be one of the factors for mitigating sentence, but this is another matter.
