Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 376 read with Section 511 IPC for the attempted rape of a 6-year-old victim, affirming the sentence of 10 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court emphasized that the testimony of a child witness, while requiring careful evaluation, does not necessitate corroboration if deemed credible. The evidence presented by the victim and her mother was found to be cogent and credible, leading to the conclusion that the trial and High Court's findings were justified.
