DINESH JAISWAL vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for rape, emphasizing that the testimony of the prosecutrix, despite the hostility of her relatives, was credible. The Court noted that the medical evidence did not categorically rule out the possibility of rape, and the circumstances of the appellant's presence in the prosecutrix's house supported the prosecution's case. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment.
