Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 376 IPC, reversing the trial court's acquittal. The Court found sufficient evidence, including the post-mortem report indicating death due to shock and hemorrhage from vaginal injuries, to support the conviction. The Court held that the High Court's findings were not perverse and the evidence presented was adequate to establish the appellant's guilt, resulting in life imprisonment for both offences.
