Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the accused under Sections 363, 366, 376, and 323 IPC, emphasizing that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted inconsistencies in the victim's testimony regarding the timing of the alleged rape and the lack of corroborative evidence from witnesses and forensic reports. Consequently, the High Court's refusal to grant leave against the acquittal was upheld, affirming the trial court's decision based on proper appreciation of evidence.
