casestatus.in Summary

Summary The Supreme Court dismissed the rape conviction appeal of Lok Mal @ Loku, affirming the High Court's decision upholding his conviction under IPC Sections 376 (rape) and 323 (assault). The court found the prosecutrix's testimony credible and unshaken despite cross-examination, rejecting arguments that absence of physical injuries or delay in reporting the 1984 incident negated the charge. The court applied established jurisprudence that rape convictions can rest solely on the victim's trustworthy testimony without corroboration, imposing 5 years imprisonment for rape and 6 months for assault, while directing consideration for remission given the case's age.
