Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for the offences under Sections 376(2)(i) of the IPC and Sections 5/6 of the POCSO Act. The court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts and medical examination, sufficiently established the guilt of the accused. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was therefore rejected, affirming the lower court's decision.
