Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the accused, affirming the conviction and life imprisonment awarded by the lower courts under Sections 376(2)(f) and 376(2)(i) of the Indian Penal Code, and Sections 3/4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. The courts found sufficient evidence to uphold the conviction, and the sentence was maintained. The appeal was rejected, confirming the legal validity of the conviction and sentence. The judgment underscores the stringent approach towards sexual offences against children.
