Narayan S/O Vishvnath Rajput vs State Of Chhattisgarh

The Supreme Court held that under Section 376(2)(g) IPC, the appellant's role in the commission of rape was as an accomplice rather than the principal offender, which warranted a different consideration for sentencing. The Court noted that the appellant had already served 7 years of the 10-year sentence, finding this period sufficient given his lesser involvement. Consequently, the Court reduced the appellant's sentence to the time already served and ordered his immediate release.
