    Summary: Swapan Sen v. State of West Bengal (CRA/123/2010) The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the appellant's criminal appeal, confirming his conviction under Section 376 read with Section 511 IPC (attempt to commit rape) while setting aside convictions under Sections 366 and 342 IPC. The court found the victim's credible testimony—a 5-year-old child lured under false pretenses to the appellant's rented house on Durga Puja day, where she was stripped and sexually assaulted—sufficiently established attempted rape despite intact hymen, corroborated by parental observations of genital redness, swelling, and bite marks. The court upheld 7 years rigorous imprisonment, rejecting the appellant's challenges regarding delayed FIR filing, inadequate medical evidence, and lack of anatomical precision in the child's account, emphasizing that conviction in sexual assault cases can rest solely on credible victim testimony.
