Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in acquitting the accused under Section 376 IPC, as it misread the evidence presented by the prosecutrix, Raj Kumari. The Court emphasized the importance of the prosecutrix's testimony, corroborated by eyewitness accounts and physical evidence, and reinstated the conviction. The Court found that the circumstances surrounding the incident were credible and upheld the trial court's decision to convict the accused for rape, thereby affirming the sentence of rigorous imprisonment for 10 years.
