As per case facts, a minor girl aged approximately 11 years from a Scheduled Tribe community was allegedly sexually assaulted by accused No. 1 and another person after being forcibly ... dragged to a secluded area, resulting in bleeding and physical injuries. A complaint was lodged, leading to investigation and a chargesheet. The trial court convicted accused No. 1 to Rigorous Imprisonment for life and fine, and acquitted accused No. 2. The appellant-accused No. 1 appealed against the conviction and sentence, contending that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt, citing material contradictions in the prosecutrix's testimony, lack of independent corroboration, and an alleged enmity motive. The question arose whether the prosecution proved the charges beyond reasonable doubt against the appellant-accused No. 1 to sustain his conviction, or if appellate interference was warranted. Finally, the Court found the prosecutrix's testimony natural, consistent, and credible, supported by prompt disclosure, medical evidence confirming hymen rupture and a significant internal vaginal tear requiring surgery, and forensic evidence including human semen on her undergarments and her blood group on the accused's clothes. Minor discrepancies were deemed immaterial. The appeal was dismissed, and the conviction was upheld.
