Kasargod, Dec 21: In a landmark judgement, the Kasargod district sessions court has sentenced a Madrasa teacher to 22 years of rigorous imprisonment and penalty of Rs 25,000 for the rape of a 10-year-old girl.

A T Ayub alias Ayub Sakhafi (28), a teacher in a Madrasa at Munakadavu is the convict.

A total of three cases were lodged against him on charges of rape, threat and destruction of evidence.

He has been awarded ten years of imprisonment each for rape and assault, and two years for destroying evidence.

If he fails to pay the penalty to the victim, he will have to undergo an additional 6 months in jail.

The incident took place on August 10, 2008. It is said that he took a 10-year-old student to another room at the Madrasa on the pretext of taking lessons, and raped her. He had further threatened to kill her if she revealed the incident to anyone.

The incident was investigated by Adoor circle inspector, T P Ranjith. As many as 25 eye-witnesses were produced in the case.

    Truthful Judgement awarded for the drastic act. This kind of punishment should be mandatory all over India. Even death sentence is more suitable for rapists.

    Suleman, Udupi we really don't need middle eastern punishment in our Indian soil for god sake. Indian ways do doing business is great which is balanced towars every citizen of the nation regardless of religion. Democratic values and religious freedom should be the core which is missing in Saudi and so called similar hypocrats nations

    Ms. Sudha Ramalingam! Advocate of human right commission activist,
    Debating on times now As a lady, women, daughter, mother and as an sister defending the rape accused and convicts saying they should not given life imprisonment nor death sentence but rape victim should be compensated.
    What compensation she or her daughter would accept if they would stand on the shoes of rape victim?
    What compensation can be offered that 23 years old lady who can nor be lead anymore normal life or marriage life since the gravity of rape and torture effect is so much she lost her intestines due the the gangrene effect.
    These human right activist against abortion too then will they take responsibility it rape victims get pregnant?
    How can she or they call themselves as an human right activist when the debate in favor of rape convict?
    Above all home secretary giving lolly -op to public saying that Delhi police has done outstanding job.

    Plz note : This is a session court verdict. His lawyer will go to higher court. There it will take 5years.(now already took 4years in lower court) Still supreem court is there. From all this poor minor girl as a victim got justice? Need to change our legal system. Still we follow 1886 Bristish laws.

    The 2 most important purpose of any punishment should be:
    1) Give a sense of justice to the victims, and,
    2) Prevent future crimes.

    No amount of worldly punishment is enough for these criminals. So:
    • ute them to send them to hell for the real punishment, and,
    • ute them in public to send the strongest warning to all would-be-criminals.

    Touching a woman (female)without her consent is an offence.

    Molesting and/or raping a woman is of grave crime and should be dealt with iron fist. The sentence should be not short of hanging till death.

    The signs of world ending are evident.

    During the last two weeks print and electronic media are full of news about rapes and rapes only. Brother rapes sister, father rapes daughter, uncle rapes nice and so on...... As the nation shaking news of Delhi girl's rape in a bus, majority of our country men are asking for a death penalty to culprits.

    I second Madam Sushma Swaraj's demand to pass a legislation that would pronounce a death sentence to all rapists. This is the only deterrent how we can reduce the violation on women.

    As some of the commentators have rightly expressed, instead of letting the rapist to live for 22 years on public exchequer and then allowing him to come out to open, still not too old to resume the old habits, it would’ve been a better and wiser option to subject him to some torturous ution.

    As per Survey everyday more than 300 Rape cases takes place in India, More than 50% are on Minors, In a month 20-25 cases are Repoted only in Kerala, Why not all will criminals will be given same punishment, Those who have plitical influence and money they will escape easily, why not common law for all. Why not Capital punishment for Rapist, if need peace - Capital punishement is the only soluton

    Indeed very good morning news. Even could have been given 50 years rigorous punishment instead of 22 years. And the penaly of Rs.25000/- is a peanut considering the trauma and the mental stability of the victim. And also after the completion of the jail term he should be hanged in the public. For the matter of fact, the criminal should realiase the crime what he has done. So he has to complete his jail term and after completion, he should be hanged.

    Dear Mr.Ravi Hemmady, Barkur, Muscat, You are 100% right..no use keeping him for 22 years in jail. When he comes out ..he will 50 years then..meaningless life for rest period for him to live.After al does he deserve to live at all by all means and he can not pace society there after..better hang him and that will be a lesson for others...capital punishment is the only solution to this kind of crimes taking place every where in India special recent one in New Delhi.Our government should immediately bring an amendment to law which would bring safe and security to women all over. It is a serious matter to be considered as early as possible.

    Govt should amend the law for the punishment of Rape case in India. whoever found guilty shall be hanged untill death the very next day after the crime is proved, so that no any inhuman bas***s ever dare for such an act in his entire life.

    A teacher is considered as a GOD, nation builder and a protecting force. Raping own student, that is also a minor is an unpardonable offence. What guarantee that he will not commit another similar crime again after 22 years? Why to feed him with tons of biryanis for another 22 years?
    Only solution is to chop his head.. if not.. chop his private organs, such that he will never rape again!!

    Landnark Judgement indeed .But make the judgements like this a real deterrent for the potential rapists the message about Punishment and heinous crime that would result should be put into the eyes and ears of everybody .If you enter Gulf countries the message is written in Airports like if you possess narcotics then it will be death penalty .Every Indian should be aware at all times that if he rapes he will either get death penalty or will be jailed for Life term
