Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the respondent under Section 376 IPC for the alleged rape of a minor. The Court noted that the High Court disbelieved the medical evidence and the school certificate due to lack of proper proof, leading to the overturning of the Trial Court's conviction. The Supreme Court held that the High Court's findings were not justified and reinstated the conviction, emphasizing the importance of corroborative evidence in sexual assault cases involving minors.
