Naga Women's Union and Rongmei Lu Phuam (RLP-Women's Organization) have expressed strong disapproval over the delay in the proceedings of rape case of a minor girl at Khoupum.
A joint release of the two women's organizations said that the rape case was taken up by Sessions Court, Manipur West under Criminal Case No.10/2013 and the hearings for the said case fixed on March 4, March 11, May 29, June 5 and July 19 this year.
However, there is no progress in the case as the authorities concerned have failed to submit relevant documents, especially bone ossification report of the accused to the Court.
The two organizations urged the State Home Department to expedite the process of submitting necessary documents of the case to the Court and deliver justice to the victim at the earliest.
