Suryanelli criminals walk free - rape molestation in Kerala

2005-01-20

35 exonerated in Suryanelli case
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A division bench of the High Court exonerated all but one of the 36 accused in an eight-year old case of sexual exploitation of a young girl in the state.

A two-member division bench consisting of Justice K.A. Abdul Gafoor and Justice R. Basanth pronounced the verdict in the infamous Suryanelli sex case in which a 16-year-old girl of Idukki district was sexually exploited by several people in 1996.

Standard Pattern In India:

The prosecution is influenced by the politicians and money. The prosecution is bribed or/and threatened by all means. One of the main accused (but not charged PJ Kurian has been recently elected to Rajya Sabha).

Lower court had given heavy punishments to most of the criminals. Some had life and some had upto 13 years. All walk free now!! Amazing justice system! Amazing Kerala.

De-facto, the legal system is the bootlicker of the criminals, establishment and the politicians.

The bench said the prosecution had failed miserably to prove the conspiracy of the accused.

Regarding the allegation of rape, the court ruled that it could not be said that there was no consent on the girl's part.

The first accused S.S. Dharmarajan was sentenced to five years imprisonment and a fine of Rs.25,000 imposed by the court. Dharmarajan was sentenced under Section 366A and 372 of the Indian Penal Code on charges of procuring a minor girl and selling a minor for prostitution.

Reacting to the verdict, women activist K. Ajitha said that the verdict was a shocking one and this could have far-reaching social implications.

"The verdict is going to become a tool for all those who are involved in the sex mafia. It is really shocking", said Ajitha.

The court ordered that the fine would be handed over to the victim and, if not paid, he would have to undergo an extra year of imprisonment.

In 1999, three years after the incident took place, the then chief minister E.K. Nayanar had set up the state's first-ever special court to deal with the case.

The inquiry had found out that 36 people were involved and brought the culprits to book.

On Sep 6, 2000, the special court sentenced the 36 people to rigorous imprisonment for varying terms.

Soon after the sentence, the accused were let off on bail by the high court.

The accused then filed separate appeals against the special court verdict on which the division bench gave the verdict Thursday, letting all but one go.
