Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for the crime of rape, reversing the acquittal by the Sessions Court. The Court found that the High Court correctly assessed the credibility of the victim's testimony, which was corroborated by her mother-in-law, and determined that the acquittal was perverse and contrary to the evidence. The Court reiterated the principle that the prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, but found sufficient evidence to support the conviction.
