"Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the alleged offence, pains suffered by the victim, who is poor woman and as accused has committed said offence at night on public road, some severe punishment is required to be inflicted on accused," the judge noted in his recent order and sentenced Qureshi to seven years rigorous imprisonment.
