casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's acquittal and restored Munnoo Lal's conviction for rape (IPC Section 376) of a 10-year-old girl on April 17, 1976. The Court found the victim's identification credible based on prior acquaintance and corroborating witness testimony, rejecting the High Court's reliance on voice identification. The sentence was reduced from six years to two years rigorous imprisonment, considering the 25-year delay and prior jail time. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
