Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment of acquittal in a rape case, emphasizing that the prosecutrix disowned the prosecution story through an affidavit and her father-in-law corroborated that no rape had occurred. The medical examination also found no evidence of rape, and the delay of 48 hours in lodging the FIR raised doubts about the credibility of the prosecution. The Court concluded that the High Court's reasons for acquittal were valid and based on the evidence presented.
