‘We Reduce the Sentence to 10 Years’: Supreme Court Upholds Conviction of Man Who Repeatedly Raped Step-Daughter but Reduces Jail Term Citing Accused Undergoing 8 Years of Sentence

The Supreme Court recently upheld the conviction of a man who was accused of repeatedly raping his stepdaughter. The division bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Ahsanuddin Amanullah stated that they had absolutely no reason to interfere with the well-considered findings of the trial court and the Kerala High Court on the man's conviction. However, the apex court reduced the sentence of the convicted stepfather from life imprisonment to ten years in jail. The court also upheld the INR 2 lakh fine imposed on the accused. In its order, the Supreme Court deemed it appropriate to reduce the jail sentence after taking note that the stepfather was in his 40s and had already undergone more than eight years of his sentence. ‘Don’t at Least Laugh’: Tushar Mehta Objects to ‘Laughing’ by Kapil Sibal During Supreme Court Hearing on Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case, Video Goes Viral.
