Sham Singh vs The State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sham Singh under Sections 376(2)(g), 342, and 506 IPC for the rape of a minor, affirming the High Court's decision which reversed the initial acquittal by the Trial Court. The Court found that the evidence presented, including testimonies from the victim and her aunt, sufficiently established the commission of the crime despite the absence of semen in the forensic report. The Court emphasized that the relationship between the accused and the victim did not negate the possibility of the crime, and the appeal was dismissed, maintaining the sentence against Sham Singh.
