Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for the rape of a minor girl, affirming the findings of the lower courts based on the evidence of the prosecutrix and a police officer who caught the appellant in the act. The Court noted that the evidence was corroborated by medical reports and the circumstances of the case, rejecting the appellant's claims of innocence. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of seven years' rigorous imprisonment was confirmed.
