Niranjan alies Virendra Maroti Parache vs The State of Maharashtra through P. S. Ghatanji Advocate - DGP Smt. Niti N Dave — 37/2025

The Additional Sessions Judge upheld the lower court's conviction of the accused under IPC Section 354 (outraging a woman's modesty) based primarily on the victim's credible and consistent testimony, rejecting the defense's claims of false implicate motivated by enmity over a business transaction. The appellate court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the one-year rigorous imprisonment plus ₹3,000 fine sentence, finding that conviction can be based on sole testimony in sexual offences when the victim's account is reliable and prompt reporting corroborates the charge.
