Bishnu Deo Mishra vs State Of Assam

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding a rape conviction, emphasizing that rape is not only a crime against the individual but also against society and human dignity. The Court reiterated that the nature of the crime, especially when committed against a minor by someone posing as a religious figure, warrants a stringent sentence. Consequently, the Criminal Appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings without interference.
