Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reduce the appellant's sentence from 10 years to 7 years rigorous imprisonment under Section 376 IPC for the offence of rape. The Court ordered the immediate release of the appellant if he had already served the reduced sentence, clarifying that this order does not set a precedent for other cases. The appeal was disposed of accordingly, emphasizing the completion of the sentence as a condition for release.
