Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's decision which acquitted the accused under Section 306 IPC but reduced the life sentence under Section 376 IPC to the time already served. The Court emphasized that the High Court's reasoning for reducing the sentence was flawed, as it failed to adequately consider the exploitation of the victim. The Supreme Court reinstated the life sentence under Section 376 IPC, affirming the need for justice for the victim and recognizing the serious nature of the crime.
