Palden Sherpa v. State of Sikkim
She had also gone to the house of the Appellant located near her
house but he was not present as he had gone to KG*. The wife of
the Appellant told her that she should meet the Appellant and
ask for Rs.100/- which she needed for her household purposes.
Accordingly the victim went to KG* and asked the Appellant for
Rs.100/- as instructed by his wife. The Appellant purchased a
"wai wai" for the victim but did not give Rs.100/- as requested
by his wife. Thereafter, she and the Appellant went to the house
of one "Bara" located some distance from the victim's house. The
said "Bara" switched on the television set and the Appellant and
the victim watched television. The "Bara" was also present. The
Appellant had some "jar" (local brew) and the victim had tea.
Thereafter, the "Bara" asked the victim to go home as it was
getting late. The Appellant left towards KG* and the victim left
for her residence. When the victim was walking up a short cut
route to her residence, she saw the Appellant following her
instead of proceeding towards KG*. The Appellant met the victim
on the way and suggested that there was another short cut to
her residence and led her on the said route. While she was
walking along the route the Appellant followed her. After
following the victim for sometime the Appellant led her to a
bushy place. The Appellant suddenly caught hold of the victim
and pulled down her slacks and underwear that she was
wearing. The Appellant then pulled the victim down on the
ground. He opened the zip of the jeans.
