Hem Raj vs State Of Haryana on 3 January, 2014
11. It is well settled principle of law that the conviction can be based for
commission of offence on the sole evidence of prosecutrix. However, the
evidence of the prosecutrix has to be scrutinized carefully as held by the Hon'ble
Supreme Court in the matter of Hem Raj vs. State of Haryana (2014) 2 SCC
3905 and has held as under:-
Section 511 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]

State Of Maharashtra vs Deepchand Khushalchand Jain And Others on 22 November, 1982
"6. In a case involving charge of rape the evidence of the
prosecutrix is most vital. If it is found credible, if it
inspires total confidence, it can be relied upon even sans
corroboration. The court may, however, if it is hesitant
to place implicit reliance on it, look into other evidence
to lend assurance to it short of corroboration required in
the case of an accomplice. (See State of Maharashtra v.
Chandraprakash Kewalchand Jain.) Such weight is given
to the prosecutrix's evidence because her evidence is on
a par with the evidence of an injured witness which
seldom fails to inspire confidence. Having placed the
prosecutrix's evidence on such a high pedestal, it is the
4
duty of the court to scrutinise it carefully, because in a
given case on that lone evidence a man can be sentenced
to life imprisonment. The court must, therefore, with its
rich experience evaluate such evidence with care and
circumspection and only after its conscience is satisfied
about its creditworthiness rely upon it."
