Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 376(2)(g), 506, 149, and 148 IPC for gang-rape and criminal intimidation. The Court confirmed the life sentences for the primary offenders while reducing the sentences for the other accused who did not engage in sexual intercourse, considering their time served. The Court emphasized the gravity of the offences and the need for deterrence in such cases, ultimately dismissing the appeal for leniency based on the duration of incarceration and family circumstances.
