Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant-accused under Sections 341 and 376 IPC for the offenses of wrongful confinement and rape, respectively. The Court found that the prosecutrix's testimony was corroborated by her immediate report to her family and the F.I.R. lodged at the police station. The Court confirmed the sentences of ten years R.I. for rape and six months R.I. for wrongful confinement, dismissing the appeal against the High Court's judgment.
