O.M. BABY (DEAD) BY LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE vs STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of O.M. Baby under Sections 376, 506 (ii), and 342 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision to reduce the sentence for rape to three years while maintaining the concurrent sentences for the other offences. The Court emphasized the importance of the victim's testimony and the corroborative medical evidence in establishing the guilt of the accused. The appeal was pursued by the deceased's wife after his passing, and the Court found no grounds to interfere with the High Court's judgment.
