Judgment text excerpt
The appellant, a Police Constable, challenged his conviction for wrongful confinement, abduction, and rape. The primary legal issue centered on the identification of the accused by the victim and witnesses. The Supreme Court examined whether the identification was reliable given the circumstances of the crime and the relationship of the accused to the state machinery.
