Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Delhi High Court's judgment that set aside the conviction of the accused under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for rape. The Court emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in sexual assault cases and held that the High Court erred in its assessment of the evidence presented. The Supreme Court reinstated the conviction under Section 376(2)(g) IPC, affirming the trial court's findings and emphasizing the need for a sensitive approach in such cases.
