Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 450, 376(2)(i), 376D, 376A, and 302 IPC, along with Section 5(g)/6 of the POCSO Act, affirming the death penalty awarded by the Trial Judge. The Court found the dying declarations credible despite the appellant's claims of inconsistencies and the presence of a third person indicated by the DNA report. The Court ruled that the case fell within the 'rarest of the rare' category justifying the death penalty, dismissing the appellant's plea for commutation based on socio-economic factors and age.
