Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 376(2)(g) and Section 366 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which maintained the trial court's sentence of 10 years and fines for the appellants. The Court emphasized that the prosecutrix was coerced into the situation leading to the offences, and the delay in filing the FIR was justified due to family circumstances. The Court found the testimonies of the prosecutrix and her mother credible despite some inconsistencies, leading to the conclusion that the appellants were guilty as charged.
