Local Powers and Judicial Constraints in a Case of Rape in India
Résumé
In this article, I analyse this contrasting relationship between the written and the oral in the production of judicial proof, in particular in relation to the problem posed by hostile witnesses. I base my findings on a criminal case which I observed at a district court concerning the rape of an under-age girl in order to analyse how judicial procedures come to be perturbed by extra-judicial power dynamics resulting from local relationships of dominance.
