Judgment text excerpt
The appellant, a Police Constable, challenged his conviction for wrongful confinement, abduction, and rape under Sections 346, 366, and 376 of the IPC. While the commission of the crime was established, the primary legal issue raised in the appeal pertained to the identity of the accused. The Supreme Court reviewed the findings of the trial court and the High Court regarding the identification of the perpetrator by the victim.
