Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the petitioner for the rape of a 6-year-old girl, confirming that the charges included Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code, which encompasses both Section 376(1) and Section 376(2). The court noted the strong evidence against the petitioner, including the victim's testimony and that of her mother, an eyewitness. The court found no grounds to interfere with the concurrent findings of fact by the lower courts, leading to the dismissal of the petitioner's appeal.
