Rape On Dead Body Doesn't Constitute The Offence Of Rape : Karnataka High Court

The Karnataka High Court has held that sexual assault on the dead body of woman will not attract the offence of Rape punishable under Section 376 of Indian Penal Code. It thus acquitted a man of rape charges for committing sexual assault on the dead body of a 21 years old girl, after murdering her. The court partly allowed the appeal filed by the convict, thereby setting aside the conviction under Section 376 of the Code. However, the court upheld his conviction for murder and confirmed the life imprisonment sentence imposed by the trial court.
