Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376/34 IPC for gang rape, affirming the High Court's decision which dismissed the appeal against the Trial Court's judgment. The Court found that the prosecutrix's testimony, despite being the sole evidence, was credible and corroborated by the circumstances of the case, including the immediate reporting of the incident and the medical examination. The Court rejected the appellant's claims of consent and discrepancies in the prosecutrix's statement, holding that the conviction was justified and the sentence of 10 years' rigorous imprisonment was appropriate.
