Judgment text excerpt
The High Court of Madhya Pradesh upheld the trial court's conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for rape and Section 506 Part II IPC for criminal intimidation. The court found that the prosecutrix's testimony was credible and corroborated by medical evidence, including the examination that revealed injuries consistent with sexual assault. The appellant's defense of false implication was rejected, and the sentence of 7 years rigorous imprisonment was affirmed, along with fines imposed for the offences.
