Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 376 IPC and Section 376/120-B IPC, affirming the life sentences for Ishrat Ali and Moijullah @ Puttan, while also confirming the convictions for Anwar and Shamshuddin @ Meradona. The Court noted the serious nature of the offenses involving sexual exploitation and blackmail of young girls, as established by the evidence presented. The appeals by the State against the acquittal of four other accused were also considered, but the Court maintained the High Court's decision regarding their acquittal.
