Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376 IPC for the rape of two sisters, affirming the High Court's decision which dismissed their appeal. The Court emphasized that the prosecution established the essential elements of the crime, including the use of force and threats, as required under Section 376 and Section 506 IPC. The sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine was deemed appropriate given the gravity of the offenses committed against the victims.
