The Delhi High Court stated that mere silence cannot be taken as a proof of consensual relations in a case where the convict Munna repeatedly raped a minor girl for over six months. His appeal stated that the silence of the victim all along was a proof of her consent to the sexual relations. HC discarded the defense and confirmed his 10-year jail term.
