The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 313 IPC for causing miscarriage without consent, affirming the High Court's finding that the victim was pregnant and that the appellants forcibly administered injections leading to the abortion. The Court noted that the High Court had rightly reduced the sentence from seven years to three years R.I. and a fine of Rs.5,000, considering the circumstances of the case.
