Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Rajasthan High Court's judgment that set aside the trial court's conviction of the respondents under Sections 366 and 376(2)(g) IPC. The Court held that the evidence of the prosecutrix and corroborating witnesses was credible, establishing that the respondents had committed the offences of kidnapping and gang rape. The Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's conviction and sentences, emphasizing the importance of the prosecutrix's age and the nature of the crime under the IPC.
