Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Sections 452, 323, and 376(2)(g) of the IPC, affirming the findings of the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The Court established that the prosecution's evidence, including the victim's testimony, was credible and sufficient to prove the charges of house trespass, causing hurt, and gang rape. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's judgment and the sentences imposed on the convicted individuals.
