SOHAN SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for the rape of the prosecutrix, affirming the four-year sentence imposed by the trial court. The Court found the evidence of the prosecutrix and her husband credible, despite the delay in filing the FIR, which was deemed reasonable. The judgment of the High Court dismissing the appeal was also confirmed, reinforcing the legal principle that corroborative evidence can substantiate the prosecutrix's testimony in sexual assault cases.
