Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court emphasized the serious nature of sexual violence, referencing the case of State of Punjab vs. Gurmit Singh, and criticized the acquittal of the accused despite compelling evidence against him. The Court found that the trial court and High Court had failed to uphold justice, as there was clear testimony and physical evidence linking the accused to the crime. The Court held that the acquittal was unjustified and allowed the appeal, thereby convicting the accused under relevant provisions of the law.
