RAVINDRA vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376(1) IPC for committing rape, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained the sentence of 10 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court emphasized that the prosecutrix's testimony, corroborated by medical evidence, was credible and should not be treated with suspicion. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims of false implication or enmity, thus affirming the lower courts' findings and the legal principle that a victim's testimony in sexual assault cases is to be given due weight.
