ORDER 1.Special leave granted. 2. After hearing the counsel for the parties and on the basis of the evidence on record, it is evident that this is not a case of gang rape in view of acquittal of co-accused and the provision of Section 376(2)(g) IPC was not applicable. This would be a case of rape simpliciter and, therefore, the sentence of the accused is reduced to the prescribed minimum of seven years. 3. This appeal is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
