Case History
Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of Gopalan's criminal appeal on June 2, 2011, challenging the Kerala High Court's February 17, 2005 judgment. Gopalan was convicted under Section 376 IPC (rape) and sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment and Rs. 3,000 fine, with concurrent findings from three courts below based on prosecutrix evidence. The Court found it inappropriate for a fourth court to re-appreciate evidence and noted the appellant had already completed his seven-year sentence and been released, making the appeal moot.
