Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 450 and 376(1) IPC, affirming the five and seven years of rigorous imprisonment respectively, along with fines. The Court emphasized that the testimony of the prosecutrix, despite being uncorroborated, was credible and sufficient to establish the charges of house trespass and rape. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that the credibility of the victim's testimony can be sufficient for conviction in sexual assault cases.
