Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of Sat Parkash under Section 302 IPC but addressed the remaining charges under Sections 363, 366, 366-A, and 376 IPC. The Court emphasized that the prosecution failed to establish the elements of kidnapping and rape beyond reasonable doubt, particularly in light of the suicide note by the victim, Sushila, which indicated her voluntary actions. The Court ultimately held that the evidence presented did not support a conviction for the remaining charges, leading to the acquittal of Sat Parkash.
