Biren Nag, the appellant, was convicted by the Special Judge (POCSO), Karbi Anglong, Diphu, under Section 6 of the POCSO Act for repeatedly raping his 13-year-old adopted daughter, and was sentenced to 20 years' rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 10,000. The appellant appealed to the Gauhati High Court, arguing through his Amicus Curiae that the case was fabricated by the victim in retaliation for being disciplined, and that the delay of approximately five months in filing the FIR allowed embellishments. The State and the Amicus Curiae for Respondent No. 2 countered that the delay was explained by the victim's mother suppressing disclosure, that the victim's testimony was corroborated by medical evidence showing loss of virginity, and that the victim's date of birth (06/04/2009) was proved by her original Birth Certificate. The trial court had found the offence under Section 5(n) of the POCSO Act proved, while acquitting the appellant and his wife of charges under Section 201 IPC and Sections 17/21 of the POCSO Act respectively. The judgment text provided ends before the High Court records its final decision on the appeal.
