Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for gang rape, affirming that the prosecutrix's identification of the accused during the identification parade and the medical evidence of semen presence were sufficient corroboration. The Court noted that the trial court's reliance on the prosecutrix's testimony and her mother's corroboration was justified, despite the acquittal of some accused under Section 366 IPC. The appeals by the convicted accused were dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that corroborative evidence is critical in sexual assault cases.
