Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for gang rape, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court noted that the victim's identification of the accused was credible despite the absence of injuries and the lack of a Test Identification Parade. The Court emphasized that the testimony of the victim, corroborated by her brother, was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
