Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition filed by S.P.S. Rathore, affirming the findings related to the sexual assault of Ms. Ruchika under Section 376 IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, reinforcing the principle that consent must be unequivocal and cannot be inferred from circumstances. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the conviction and sentence imposed by the lower courts.
