Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to reduce the appellant's sentence under Section 376 IPC from 10 years to 7 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court noted that the appellant had already undergone the sentence, and if not, the sentence would be reduced to the period already served. The order was made without establishing any precedent for future cases.
