Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's decision that had set aside the acquittal of V. Rajaram, convicting him under Sections 217 and 221 of the IPC. The court found that the High Court had erred in its assessment of the evidence and the legal standards applicable to the case. Consequently, Rajaram was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a total of five years, reflecting the gravity of his offenses related to public order and the integrity of the judicial process.
