Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 354 IPC for assault with intent to outrage modesty and maintained the conviction under Section 451 IPC for house-trespass with intent to commit an offence. The Court found no perversity in the lower courts' appreciation of evidence, particularly the testimonies of PWs 4 and 5, which supported the convictions. The sentence of rigorous imprisonment for two years under Section 354 IPC was confirmed, along with the concurrent sentence under Section 451 IPC.
