Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 376 IPC and Section 376/120B IPC, affirming the life sentences for Moijullah @ Puttan and Ishrat Ali, while also maintaining the convictions for Anwar and Shamshuddin @ Meradona under Section 376/120B IPC. The Court noted that the High Court's acquittal of four other accused was contested by the State, emphasizing the gravity of the offenses involving sexual exploitation and blackmail as outlined in the FIR. The judgment reinforced the application of Sections 120B and 376 IPC in cases of organized sexual crimes against minors.
