Gian Chand & Ors vs State Of Haryana on 23 July, 2013

In any case, it is trite law that a conviction can be based on the sole testimony of the prosecutrix, provided that it is cogent and reliable. In the present case, nothing has been elicited which would make the testimony of the child victim appear tutored or otherwise suspect. On the aspect of public Signature Not Verified Digitally Signed CRL.A. 539/2022 Page 11 of 14 By:NIJAMUDDEE N ANSARI witnesses, it is settled law that their non-examination is not fatal to the prosecution case, where the evidence of prosecution witnesses is found to be cogent, convincing, creditworthy and reliable.

Wahid Khan vs State Of M.P on 1 December, 2009

17. The MLC and the FSL in the present case do not corroborate the testimony of the child victim. Since the appellant was caught in the act midway, it could explain the non-detection of semen on the exhibits. Furthermore, it is trite law that to establish the offence of rape, penetration, no matter how slight, is sufficient. (cf: Wahid Khan v. State of M.P.4) It is not a given that in every case of rape, there would be injuries on the private part of the victim. There is no requirement in law that if the victim‟s testimony is not corroborated by the medical opinion, the same has to be discarded. Corroboration is not a rule of law but a mere rule of prudence. In cases where the testimony is credible and reliable and does not suffer from any fatal contradiction, it alone can also be sufficient for conviction.
