The High Court dismissed the appeals: the trial judge did not err in accepting SP5 as a credible witness supported by independent eyewitness testimony of SP4 and corroborative exhibits including CIC recording and a section 112 statement; the convictions were therefore safe. Sentences imposed by the Sessions Court were lawful and reasonable: offences were distinct permitting consecutive sentences, additional penalties under section 16 were properly imposed, whipping was permissible under the specific Act, and the aggregate did not breach the totality principle.
