Rape case cannot be quashed even if victim resiles:
In a significant ruling, Madras High Court has held that a rape case cannot be quashed even if the victim ``resiles'' from her allegations as the offence was not only against an individual but also against the state.
Rape is morally and physically the most reprehensible crime in the society which degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female, the Supreme Court on Monday said.
