Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 376 read with Section 34 IPC for the gang rape of a 19-year-old woman. The Court found that the testimony of the prosecutrix (PW-1) was credible and corroborated by the village Pradhan (PW-2), despite the defense's arguments regarding the absence of injuries and delay in filing the FIR. The High Court's affirmation of the Trial Court's judgment was deemed correct, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
