As per case facts, the appellant was convicted of kidnapping and rape of a minor victim by the Sessions Court. The victim, aged about 4 years, was allegedly kidnapped, sexually
...abused, and later found injured. The appellant appealed, contending the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, primarily relying on the child victim's testimony which was argued to be unreliable due to contradictions and her tender age. The question arose whether the evidence on record was sufficient to sustain the conviction. Finally, the High Court found that the prosecution proved its case with sufficient evidence beyond reasonable doubt, upholding the trial court's conviction and sentence of life imprisonment, finding no grounds for interference despite arguments about the child witness.
