The judge said that though the accused was the neighbour of the girl, it appeared "highly impossible for a single man to gag the mouth of the victim, remover her clothes and his clothes and to perform the forcible sexual act without any scuffle".

Acquitting a 26-year-old man in a rape case, the Bombay High Court has recently ruled that it is highly impossible for a man to gag a girl, de-nude her and self and then rape a 15-year old girl without a scuffle.
In a verdict delivered last fortnight, Justice Pushpa Ganediwala at the Nagpur Bench said that there were no signs of any scuffle between the accused and the minor victim, while hearing an appeal by the convicted accused in an eight-year-old rape case under the POCSO Act.
