Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of accused/appellants Om Prakash and Kartar Singh under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for the rape of a 15-year-old girl, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court emphasized that the absence of external injuries does not negate the occurrence of rape, and corroborative evidence, including the victim's testimony and medical examination, supported the prosecution's case. The conviction of Chhoti under Section 109 IPC for aiding the commission of the crime was also affirmed, establishing that aiding and abetting in such offenses is punishable under Indian law.
