The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 450 and 376 IPC, affirming the trial court's finding based on the prosecutrix's testimony and corroborating witnesses. The Court noted that despite discrepancies in the prosecution's case, the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment was confirmed, with the sentences to run concurrently, along with a fine imposed on the appellant.
