It is fundamental principle of criminal law that an accused is innocent till proven guilty. Therefore firstly it’s upon the prosecution to prove the guilt of accused beyond reasonable doubts. Once prosecution proves the guilt of accused, it is true that it is quite difficult to prove the consent of a girl who enters into intimate relationship. As far as evidence is concerned, it completely depends upon the facts and circumstances of the case. In most of frivolous rape cases, the cross-examination of prosecutrix and other prosecution witnesses are of great help.
