S.Ramakrishna vs State Rep.By Pub.Prosr., H.C. A.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for offences under Sections 376 and 342 IPC, affirming the High Court's reduction of the sentence from 10 years to 7 years. The Court found that the evidence presented, particularly from the victim and medical expert, established the commission of rape and wrongful confinement, rejecting the appellant's claims regarding the victim's age and consent. The Court emphasized that the absence of medical evidence confirming rape does not negate the victim's testimony, thereby affirming the lower courts' findings.
