PW1 Sewawati informed the police on 29 8 1985 that ten days prior to that date she was caught hold of by six persons including the appellants and all of them companymitted rape on her one by one.
The trial Court companyvicted Six persons for the offence under Section 376, IPC and all of them were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 10 years each.
The version of PW1 was accepted by the trial Court and the High Court by assuming that a lady like PW1 had numberreason to falsely implicate the six persons for rape.
Though this is a case of gang rape, we are left with the uncorroborated, highly belated and interested version of PW1 Sewawati alone as against an array of accused persons.
But the remaining companyvicted persons challenged the companyviction and sentence before the High Court and by the impugned judgment, the High Court companyfirmed the companyviction and sentence.
One among them Girdhari did number choose to file an appeal against the trial Courts judgment.
Perhaps he would have accepted the verdict passed against him.
