Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's acquittal of the accused under Sections 363, 366, and 376 IPC was unsustainable due to the absence of reasoned judgment. The Court emphasized that a judgment must articulate reasons to ensure clarity and facilitate appellate review, citing the principle that failure to provide reasons amounts to a denial of justice. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and restored the trial court's conviction, underscoring the necessity of reasoned judicial decisions.
