Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's confirmation of the death sentence imposed under Section 302 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. The Court found that the circumstantial evidence presented was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. The Court held that the case fell within the category of 'rarest of rare' cases justifying capital punishment, thus dismissing the appeals of the convicted accused.
