Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for gang rape, affirming the trial court's reliance on the prosecutrix's testimony and corroborative evidence, including identification by the prosecutrix and medical findings of semen. The Court noted that the High Court's modification of the sentence from 10 years to 8 years RI and increase in fine from Rs. 200 to Rs. 5000 was justified. The judgment emphasized the importance of the prosecutrix's identification of the accused during the identification parade as a critical factor in establishing guilt.
