Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 376 and Section 417 IPC for rape and cheating, respectively. The Court found that the prosecution established the elements of rape despite the defense's claims of consent, noting the prosecutrix's delayed reporting and subsequent interactions with the accused did not negate the occurrence of the crime. The Court affirmed the lower courts' findings, emphasizing the importance of the prosecutrix's testimony and the corroborative evidence presented during the trial.
