Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the appellant, who was convicted under Section 366 IPC for facilitating the rape of the prosecutrix by Ajaib Singh. The Court found sufficient evidence that the appellant enticed the prosecutrix under false pretenses, thereby establishing her culpability. The Court held that the relationship between the parties and the nature of the offense warranted the upholding of the original sentence, rejecting the plea for a reduced sentence based on the appellant's family circumstances.
