according to medical report, international sports person Pranamk is not a male and cannot commit rape, even though not even female. But the police still consider the sportsperson as male for alleging rape.

Can police overrule medical report? The physical attributes can be authentically determined by doctors only.

It cannot, unless its proved that its a cooked up medical report.
I guess it also depends on what is the definition of rape,in legal terms....If he/she is a hermaphrodite then the laws may be different.However it is a very confusing issue....

Even then the senior medical authorities or a board of medical officers can overrule the report. Police are non medical and inexpert. They have no authority to challenge expert opinion. .

Police cannot, unless they found out that medical report was forged and policemen think that they can prove it. The way the case was dealt in the first place raised enough suspicions. Every thing will be clear this time around.

I agree with you, but as per Indian Penal Court Lie detector or Polygraphy cannot be conduct without the permission of the patient. I can't understand does it take so many days to decide that a person is male or female.?

Lie detector is not relevant to decide the question of gender. This is entirely matter of medical opinion. If court thinks it necessary, a medical board can be constituted for the purpose.

There is detailed medical report according to which Pinki Pramanik is male but not man; is incapable of rape as cannot penetrate. But the police authorities are still adamant on rape charge. They are even distorting criminal law. Currently, no penetration means no rape. Molestation may be alleged but not rape. Apparently, police are prejudiced and blind to propriety, law and expert opinion.
