Dastagir Sab & Anr vs State Of Karnataka

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for gang rape, affirming that the identification of the accused by the prosecutrix in court was valid despite the absence of a prior Test Identification Parade. The Court found sufficient corroborative evidence from multiple witnesses, including the immediate reaction of the prosecutrix's family upon hearing her cries, which established the occurrence of the crime. The sentence of five years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 10,000 was confirmed.
