Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/34 IPC for murder, Section 376 IPC for rape, and other related offenses, affirming life imprisonment and fines imposed by the High Court. The Court found that the prosecution established the case beyond reasonable doubt, with evidence of a deadly assault leading to the death of Mishribai and subsequent rape of Parubai. The appeal was dismissed for Gul Singh @ Guliya, while the convictions of the other appellants were partly allowed, altering one conviction under Section 376(2)(g) to Section 376(1).
