State Of Rajasthan vs Roshan Khan & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Rajasthan High Court erred in acquitting the respondents under Sections 366 and 376(2)(g) IPC, emphasizing the importance of the prosecutrix's testimony and corroborative evidence. The Court found that the High Court's doubts regarding the prosecutrix's age and the delay in filing the FIR were not sufficient to undermine the trial court's conviction. The Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sentences imposed by the Additional Sessions Judge, affirming the legal principle that the credibility of the prosecutrix's testimony is paramount in sexual assault cases.
