Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Tameezuddin under Section 376 IPC for rape and Section 506(II) IPC for criminal intimidation, affirming the trial court's findings. The Court noted that the absence of physical injuries on the prosecutrix does not negate the occurrence of rape, as corroborative evidence from the forensic report indicated the presence of semen. The Court emphasized that the credibility of the prosecutrix's testimony, supported by her husband's account, warranted conviction despite the defense's arguments regarding the improbability of the prosecution's narrative.
