Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 450 and 376 IPC, affirming the trial court's decision despite discrepancies in the prosecution's case. The Court noted that while the testimony of the prosecutrix is significant, the inconsistencies in her statements and the lack of corroborative evidence raised reasonable doubt about the appellant's guilt. Consequently, the Court acquitted the appellant, emphasizing the necessity of a reliable and consistent account in sexual assault cases.
