Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376 IPC for rape, affirming the High Court's decision while reducing the sentence from 7 years to 5 years rigorous imprisonment and imposing a fine of Rs. 10,000 each. The Court clarified that the evidence presented, including the victim's testimony and medical examination, sufficiently established the commission of the crime. The conviction under Sections 366/34 IPC was set aside, indicating a distinction in the applicability of those charges in this case.
