Tmt.R.Swarnavalli vs H.H.The Prince Of Arcot Endowments on 16 March, 2009

23. It has been well established in catena of judgments particularly in the age old case of R Vs Prince wherein the defendant was convicted under a statute making it unlawful to take any unmarried girl under the age of 16 years out of the possession and without the consent of her parents. Although the girl taken by defendant was 14 years old, she had told the defendant and the defendant reasonably believed that the girl was 18 years and it was held that where a statute is silent as to the mens rea required to make the act a crime, the Court is not bound to need a requirement of mens rea into the statute.
