Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 376 and 302 IPC, affirming the trial court's findings that the evidence presented established the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The Court emphasized that the circumstances of the case, including the locked premises and the strained relationship between the appellant and the complainant, supported the prosecution's case. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentences of life imprisonment and ten years' rigorous imprisonment were confirmed, along with the respective fines imposed.
