Guddu @ Santosh vs State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the acquittal of the appellant charged under Section 376 IPC for the rape of a minor girl. The Court emphasized that the absence of definitive medical evidence, particularly the intact hymen and lack of external injuries, undermined the prosecution's case. The Court held that the trial court's acquittal was justified due to insufficient evidence to prove the charge beyond reasonable doubt, thereby upholding the acquittal.
