Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's judgment, which converted the conviction under Section 376 IPC to Section 354 IPC, indicating that the evidence of rape was not clear or explicit. The Court emphasized the importance of considering all evidence, noting that the prosecutrix's testimony was not corroborated by medical evidence, as the doctor found no injuries and the laboratory reports did not support the prosecution's case. The Court held that the absence of definitive evidence warranted no interference with the High Court's decision.
