As per case facts, a minor girl residing in a hostel reported sexual assault, leading to an FIR. Medical examinations revealed injuries consistent with sexual assault, and an FSL report ... confirmed biological evidence. The victim identified one respondent in a Test Identification Parade. The State appealed against the trial court's acquittal, arguing misappreciation of the victim's consistent testimony, medical, and scientific evidence. The question arose whether the trial court rightly acquitted the respondents despite the victim's testimony and corroborating evidence, and if a victim's testimony mandates independent corroboration. Finally, the Court reversed the acquittal, holding the victim's testimony as reliable, corroborated by medical and scientific findings. It affirmed that a sexual assault victim is not an accomplice, and her credible, trustworthy testimony, free from infirmities, can sustain a conviction even without independent corroboration. Respondent 2 was convicted for aggravated penetrative sexual assault, and Respondents 1 and 3 for concealing the offense.
