Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's dismissal of the application questioning the acquittal of respondents under Section 376(2) IPC. The Court emphasized that the presence of accused Hemraj at the crime scene was not established, leading to the conclusion that he could not be held guilty under Section 376(2) IPC. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the evidence did not support the conviction of either respondent for the alleged rape, thus maintaining the acquittal.
