Daya Nand vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 read with Section 511 IPC for attempted rape, affirming the findings of the trial court and the High Court. The Court found that the evidence presented by the prosecution, including testimonies from the prosecutrix and her family, sufficiently established the appellant's guilt. The appellant's plea of juvenility was rejected, as the Sessions Judge determined he was not a juvenile at the time of the offense based on his recorded date of birth, leading to the trial in a Sessions Court instead of a Juvenile Court.
