6. Q1. निम्नलिखित गद्यांश का हिंदी में अनुवाद कीजिए: Enjoyment with attachment is really a search for pleasure, that is, satisfaction of the senses. It brings satiety, disgust, frustration and misery. When you remove attachment, wrath and fear from your actions and are not hired by the enjoyment of the senses or, to use the words of the Gita, when you develop “anaasakti”, the action becomes perfect. Then the joy of doing the perfect act becomes yours. It stimulates fundamental aspirations for love, power, joy, peace, light and freedom. Then you find that unfading “aanand” of having fulfilled yourself. If we perform the duty of the moment, whatever happens, nothing will harm us. Let us not forget the glory of our past; let us discharge our duty in the present; let us decide to steer our way fearlessly in the future. (20)

Soon thereafter Sanjay started avoiding Sumitra and finally refused to marry her. Shocked by the change in Sanjay’s attitude towards her, Sumitra files a criminal complaint alleging that she had been raped by Sanjay a number of times. Sanjay pleads that the sexual relationship was with the consent of Sumitra and, therefore, he has committed no offence.

Critically examine the offence committed by ‘K’ under the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code. (10)
