Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the sentence of the appellant convicted under Sections 376 and 506 IPC, reducing the sentence under Section 376 from ten years to the prescribed minimum of seven years, while maintaining the sentence under Section 506. The Court noted that neither the Trial Court nor the High Court provided justification for the ten-year sentence, and emphasized that the ends of justice would be served by imposing the minimum sentence. The sentences were ordered to run concurrently, and the appeal was partly allowed.
