Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376(2)(g) IPC for the rape of the prosecutrix, affirming the four-year sentence imposed by the Trial Court and upheld by the High Court. The Court found the evidence of the prosecutrix and her husband credible, noting that the delay in filing the FIR was justified. The judgment emphasized the importance of corroborative evidence in sexual assault cases and the necessity of considering the socio-economic background of the victims in assessing the case.
