Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had set aside the conviction of the respondent under Sections 376(1) and 306 IPC, which pertained to the rape and subsequent suicide of the deceased. The Court emphasized the necessity of corroboration in cases involving child witnesses, referencing Bhagwan Singh and Others vs. State of M.P. (2003) 3 SCC 21. The Court reinstated the trial court's conviction, affirming that the evidence presented sufficiently established the respondent's guilt.
