    The High Court held that the prosecution proved penetration and lack of consent beyond reasonable doubt by cogent complainant testimony corroborated by medical findings and DNA/forensic evidence; the Sessions Court correctly found a prima facie case and properly called the accused to answer; there was no misdirection or factual error warranting appellate interference; accordingly the conviction and sentence (12 years’ imprisonment from date of arrest and 2 strokes) were affirmed.
