body2001
Judgment ( 1 ) LEAVE granted. ( 2 ) THE evidence of Dr Smt G. Saxena (PW 3) shows that the rape attempted on the victim did not succeed in full measure. Hence the conviction must be altered to one under Section 376 read with Section 511 of the Indian Penal Code. We do so. As a corollary, we reduce the sentence to half the period fixed by the High Court i. e. rigorous imprisonment for three years and six months. With the said alteration on the count of conviction and the reduction of the sentence, this appeal is disposed of.
