Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Sections 366 and 376 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which confirmed the trial court's sentencing of the appellants to ten years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine for the abduction and rape of the victim. The Court emphasized that consent obtained through coercion is not valid and reiterated the importance of protecting the rights of victims in sexual offenses. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the integrity of the lower court's findings and sentences.
