Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interference in an appeal against acquittal was unwarranted, emphasizing that if the Trial Court's view was plausible based on the evidence, the High Court should refrain from intervening. The Court found significant delays in lodging the FIR and contradictions in the prosecutrix's statements, alongside a lack of medical evidence supporting the claim of rape. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the Trial Court's acquittal of the accused, stating that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt under Section 376(2)(g) IPC.
