Manoharlal vs State Of M.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for rape, affirming the High Court's decision which relied on the sole testimony of the victim despite the absence of medical evidence confirming rape. The Court reiterated that the testimony of the prosecutrix can be sufficient for conviction, emphasizing the need to consider the victim's credibility and the circumstances of the case. The appellant's conviction was maintained, and the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that the victim's testimony is central in sexual assault cases.
