Bombay HC clears 51-year-old man; states, 'medical evidence is not enough in sexual assault cases'

The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has overturned a 20-year prison sentence imposed on a man convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl, citing the absence of corroborative evidence. The court ruled that while medical findings can be useful, they cannot serve as the sole basis for a conviction in sexual assault cases. The ruling underscores the importance of witness testimonies and direct evidence in upholding justice.
