casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 4/1998 — Arasappa v. State of Karnataka On 17 March 2004, the Supreme Court allowed Arasappa's appeal against his conviction for rape (Section 376 IPC) and 7-year sentence imposed by the trial court and upheld by the Karnataka High Court. The Court found the identification evidence of the victim insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, particularly noting that no test identification parade was conducted and the victim had not known the appellant's name prior to the incident. The conviction and sentence were set aside, and bail bonds were discharged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
