Principal Sessions Judge S Ashok Kumar gave his verdict for offences under section 376 (1) of the Indian Penal Code (for rape) and six months simple imprisonment for offences under section 417 of the IPC (for cheating). The sentences would run concurrently, he decreed. The chargesheet said that Khan had run an advertisement in the newspapers for a woman secretary for his real estate business.
