On March 17, 2005, the victim, Seema, had filed a complaint under Section 313 of the Indian Penal Code, alleging maltreatment at the hands of Dass. In her statement, Seema had said she had gone to the clinic in Jagroan for a check-up as she was having pain in the abdomen.
After the check-up, Dass told her that she was two-months pregnant but the foetus should be aborted as it was disformed. Seema refused to do so. But the doctor allegedly went ahead with an abortion. Thereafter, Seema’s condition deteriorated and she had to be admitted in the civil hospital.
In the court today, the accused pleaded innocence and claimed that she was being falsely implicated. Pronouncing the verdict, the court, however, held that the prosecution had successfully proven the case in its favour.
