Crl.A. No.493 of 2014
(NCT of Delhi) 16, the Apex Court categorically held that there can be
conviction on sole evidence of prosecutrix, and in case, the Court is
not satisfied with the version of the prosecutrix, it can seek other
evidence, direct or circumstantial, by which it may get assurance of
her testimony. Evidence of the victim of sexual assault is enough for
conviction and it does not require any corroboration unless there are
compelling reasons for seeking corroboration. Seeking corroboration
of her statement before relying upon the same, as a rule, in such cases,
amounts to adding insult to injury. If evidence of the prosecutrix
inspires confidence, it must be relied upon without seeking
corroboration of her statement in material particulars. There is no
legal compulsion to look for any other evidence to corroborate the
evidence of the prosecutrix before recording an order of conviction.
