Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 376 IPC for the rape of his own daughter, emphasizing the heinous nature of the crime and the betrayal of trust involved. The Court found that the evidence, including witness testimonies and medical examinations, sufficiently established the occurrence of rape. The appeal against the High Court's affirmation of the conviction was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principle that familial relationships do not exempt individuals from accountability for sexual offenses.
