Aslam vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376 read with Section 34 IPC for the rape of a married woman, affirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court ruled that the sole testimony of the prosecutrix, corroborated by the village Pradhan, was sufficient to establish the offence despite the absence of physical injuries and medical corroboration. The Court emphasized that the credibility of the prosecutrix's testimony was paramount and did not require corroboration to sustain the conviction.
