Madala Venkata Narsimha Rao vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court held that while there was sufficient evidence to convict the appellant for the murder of Lalitha under Section 302 IPC, there was no admissible evidence to support the charge of rape. The Court emphasized the need for credible evidence in establishing the crime of rape, which was not met in this case. Consequently, the High Court's decision to set aside the acquittal for murder was upheld, but the charge of rape was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
