evidence of the victim by itself is enough to convict the accused and does not need any corroboration. Further, the case of the prosecution is also fortified in view of the presumption under Section 114-A of the Evidence Act, 1872 and when the accused has not rebutted the presumption by adducing appropriate evidence, held that the offences stood proved. Therefore, finding that the accused committed offence under Section 452 of The IPC , it imposed sentence of 7 years Rigorous Imprisonment and a fine of Rs.5,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to undergo six months Rigorous Imprisonment; finding guilty of the offence under Section 323 of The IPC , imposed a sentence of one year Rigorous Imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to undergo one month Rigorous Imprisonment; of the offence under Section 376 read with 511 of The IPC , to undergo 10 years Rigorous Imprisonment and a fine of Rs.10,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to undergo six months Rigorous Imprisonment and under Section 4 of the TNPHW Act , to undergo 3 years Rigorous Imprisonment and a fine of Rs.5,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to undergo six months Rigorous Imprisonment. Aggrieved by the same, the present appeal is laid before this Court.
