Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's decision to convict the appellants under Sections 376 and 342 of the IPC, while acquitting them of charges under Sections 392 and 506(II) IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence provided by the prosecutrix and her husband was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused, despite some discrepancies noted by the trial court. The sentence imposed was seven years and six months of imprisonment along with a fine, reinforcing the seriousness of the offences committed against the prosecutrix.
