Case History
Summary: Ramesh Kumar v. State of H.P., Criminal Appeal No. 1843/2011 The Supreme Court dismissed the appellants' appeal challenging their conviction for gang rape under IPC Section 376(2)(g). The High Court had reversed the trial court's acquittal and convicted the three accused to 7 years rigorous imprisonment and ₹10,000 fine each. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction, finding the trial court's acquittal perverse and rejecting arguments about visibility, timing, and site plan discrepancies. Forensic evidence confirmed semen stains on the victim's clothing and vaginal swab. The Court declined to enhance the sentence below the 10-year minimum for gang rape, given case circumstances.
