Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court acquitted the appellants convicted under Section 376 IPC and Section 506 Part II IPC, as well as Section 363 IPC and Section 342 IPC, due to the prosecution's failure to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The Court noted the significant delay in lodging the First Information Report and the lack of evidence supporting the occurrence of sexual intercourse. Consequently, the convictions and sentences were set aside, and the appellants were ordered to be released from custody.
