Hemudan Nanbha Gadhvi vs The State Of Gujarat

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376(2)(f) IPC for the sexual assault of a minor, affirming the High Court's reversal of the trial court's acquittal. The Court found that the prosecution established the assault through medical evidence, corroborated by the presence of semen matching the appellant's blood group and the identification of the appellant in a Test Identification Parade (T.I.P.). The Court rejected the appellant's arguments regarding the lack of substantive evidence and procedural lapses, emphasizing that the evidence presented was sufficient to sustain the conviction.
