State of Madhya Pradesh 2007 CRI.L.J. 4704, the Apex Court has not only reiterated the well settled legal position that a finding of guilt in a case of rape can be based on uncorroborated evidence of prosecutrix, but has gone a step ahead and held that the opinion of a doctor that, "There was no evidence of any sexual intercourse or rape", may not be sufficient to disbelieve the accusation of rape by the victim.

Mulla & Another vs State Of U.P on 8 February, 2010

29. Admittedly, test identification parade has mere corroborative value and it is a process which belongs to investigating machinery. Failure to conduct test identification parade is not always fatal. It may not be necessary in every case. Law has developed to the extent of holding that identification in court is good identification in the eyes of law and it need not always be preceded by test identification parade. Law to this extent has been dealt in various cases like Shamlal Ghosh v. State of W.B. (2012) 7 SCC 646 ; Mulla v. State of U.P. (2010) 3 CriAppeal-309-2002+ -27- SCC 508 and Sheo Shankar Singh v. State of Jharkhand (2011) 3 SCC

Sat Paul vs Delhi Administration on 30 September, 1975

In Sat Paul v. Delhi Administration (1976) 1 SCC 727, the Hon'ble Apex Court cautioned that "even if witness is treated as "hostile" and is cross examined, his evidence cannot be written off altogether but must be considered with due care and circumspection CriAppeal-309-2002+ -19- and that part of the testimony which is creditworthy must be considered and acted upon. It is for the Judge as a matter of prudence to consider the extent of evidence which is creditworthy for the purpose of proof of the case. In other words, the fact that a witness has been declared hostile, does not result in automatic rejection of his evidence. Even, the evidence of a "hostile witness", if it finds corroboration from the facts of the case, may be taken into account while judging the guilt of the accused. Thus, there is no legal bar to raise a conviction upon "hostile witness testimony" if corroborated by other reliable evidence."
