Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for the sexual assault of a minor, affirming the findings of the trial court and the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court found the evidence of the prosecutrix, corroborated by her aunt, credible despite the appellant's claims of false implication due to a land dispute. The court emphasized that the medical evidence and the circumstances surrounding the case did not undermine the prosecutrix's testimony, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
