believed unless it is corroborated in material particulars, as in
the case of an accomplice to a crime. Why should the evidence of

molestation be viewed with the aid of spectacles fitted with lenses
tinged with doubt, disbelief or suspicion? The plea about lack of
corroboration has no substance (See Bhupinder Sharma v. State
of H.P.5). Notwithstanding this legal position, in the instant case,
we even find enough corroborative material as well, which is
discussed hereinabove."
