Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for gang rape, affirming the findings of the Sessions Court and the High Court. The Court found the prosecutrix's testimony credible and corroborated by medical evidence, dismissing the appeal of the accused-appellants. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of identification evidence and the absence of infirmities in the prosecutrix's account, leading to the dismissal of the appeal as meritless.
