PRADEEP KUMAR vs UNION ADMINISTRATION, CHANDIGARH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Pardeep Kumar under Section 376 IPC for rape, affirming the High Court's decision which relied on the prosecutrix's testimony and corroborating evidence from a police constable. The Court noted that the presence of Pardeep Kumar at the crime scene, where he was apprehended, supported the conviction. The Court dismissed the appeal, reinforcing the legal principle that corroborative evidence can substantiate the victim's account in sexual assault cases.
