State Of Madhya Pradesh vs Pooran Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment of acquittal in a rape case, emphasizing that the prosecutrix had filed an affidavit disowning the prosecution story, corroborated by her father-in-law's testimony and the absence of medical evidence of rape. The Court noted the significant delay of 48 hours in lodging the FIR, which further undermined the prosecution's case. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings as consistent with the evidence presented.
