Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's criminal revision petition, affirming the Sessions Judge's decision to frame charges under Section 376(2)(n) and Section 506 IPC. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented was sufficient to warrant a trial, thereby rejecting the appellant's application for discharge under Section 227 Cr.P.C. The ruling reinforced the principle that the trial court must assess the prima facie evidence before deciding on discharge, ensuring that the truth is uncovered through trial.
