Section 376D IPC & POCSO Act | Dock Identification & TIP Suffice for Gang Rape Conviction Despite FIR Omissions : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court affirms life imprisonment for gang rape of a minor, holding that Test Identification Parade (TIP) conducted with safeguards, coupled with dock identification and medical evidence, sustains conviction under Section 376D IPC and POCSO Act-even if accused names are missing from the FIR. The ruling reinforces that procedural lapses in FIR registration do not vitiate substantive evidence in heinous offences.
