Balwant Singh v. State of Punjab

A woman was kidnapped and gang-raped by four men who were in a financial dispute with her father. Although the police dismissed the complaint as fabricated due to the ongoing litigation, the victim filed a private complaint. The Supreme Court of India held that the father's disputes with the accused were not sufficient to discredit the victim’s consistent and medically corroborated testimony, and upheld the convictions.
