The Gujarat high court today upheld the life imprisonment of five out of six teachers for repeatedly raping a 19-year-old Dalit girl student of their college in Patan.

The high court reduced the punishment of the sixth teacher from life term to ten years' imprisonment.

A two-judge bench of Justice Akil Kureshi and Justice Z K Saiyed confirmed the life imprisonment for Manish Parmar, Mahendra Prajapati, Ashwin Parmar, Kiran Patel and Suresh Patel -- all teachers of Patan's government-run Primary Teachers' Training College -- but reduced the term of the sixth convict, Atul Patel.
