Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 366A and 376 IPC, affirming the findings of the lower courts. The Court found that the prosecution failed to establish that the prosecutrix was a minor at the time of the alleged offences, as her age was determined to be around 19 years based on the evidence of her father and medical examination. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the sentences were confirmed as lawful and justified.
