The State Of Punjab vs Gurmit Singh & Ors on 16 January, 1996
38. It is a settled law that conviction in the offence under
Section 376 IPC can be based on the sole testimony of the witness as
was held in State of Punjab Vs. Gurmit Singh, (1996) 2 SCC 384; and
in State of Maharashtra Vs. Chandraprakash Kewal Chand Jain,
(1990) 1 SCC 550. However, the testimony of the victim in such cases
is very vital and should be without inconsistencies and should not be
improbable, unless there are compelling reasons which necessitate
looking for corroboration of her statement and the Court finds it
difficult to act on the sole testimony of victim of sexual assault to
convict an accused.
