Kripal Singh Vs. State of M.P.

Madhya Pradesh High Court (Single Judge)

Criminal Appeal, 1087 of 2012, Judgment Date: Jan 20, 2018

Law laid down -

Evidence of the prosecutrix is similar to evidence of the injured-complainant or witness. The testimony of the prosecutrix if found to be reliable, per se, may be sufficient to convict a culprit and no corroboration of her evidence is necessary. In prosecution of rape, law does not require corroboration.
Absence of injury – external or internal, on the body of the prosecutrix would not render the testimony of the prosecutrix unreliable.
