Section 376(2)(l) IPC | Testimony of Differently Abled Victim Sufficient for Conviction When Corroborated by Medical & Forensic Evidence : Sikkim HC
Sikkim High Court rules that the testimony of a differently abled victim, even if unable to identify the aggressor, is sufficient for conviction under Section 376(2)(l) IPC when supported by medical and forensic evidence. The judgment underscores that inconsistencies or silences in testimony cannot suppress truth in cases involving disabled witnesses, reinforcing disability rights in criminal proceedings.
