Wife got recorded FIR under section 376 PPC against the husband to exert pressure to settle matrimonial dispute which is not warranted by law. Moreover, ocular account is not synchronized with the medical evidence. As per narration of the FIR the complainant emphatically alleged that she had repeatedly been subjected to carnal in*******se by her husband, the petitioner, but her medico-legal report badly negated her version. The allegation of committing unnatural offence by the accused/petitioner could only be corroborated by the medical evidence, which is in direct conflict thereto and reduces veracity thereof almost to a nonentity. Moreover, DNA report in this respect is also negative. It is settled law that the benefit of doubt can be extended to the accused even while deciding pre-arrest bail application.
