Manak Chand @ Mani vs The State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 of the IPC for raping a minor girl aged 15, based on the evidence presented by the prosecutrix and the findings of the lower courts. The court emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in cases of sexual assault on minors and affirmed that the prosecution had sufficiently proved the guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, maintaining the sentence of seven years imprisonment and fine. The judgment reinforces the stringent stance of Indian law against sexual offences involving minors.
