The Calcutta High Court upheld Manoj Mangrati's conviction under IPC Section 376 (rape) and affirmed his 10-year rigorous imprisonment and ₹20,000 fine. The court found the victim's consistent testimony—corroborated by witness statements, FSL evidence of semen on the victim's clothing, and the victim's statement before a magistrate—sufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, despite the absence of physical injury, noting the victim's age (56) and vulnerability explained her inability to resist. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
