Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 452, 323 read with Section 34, and Section 376(2)(g) IPC, affirming the findings of the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's evidence, including the victim's testimony and the circumstances of the case, sufficiently established the identity and involvement of the accused in the crime. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that corroborative evidence is not always necessary when the victim's testimony is credible and consistent.
