UTTAM SINGH vs THE STATE (DELHI ADMINISTRATION)

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 292 IPC for selling obscene playing cards, affirming the sentence of six months' rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 500. The Court noted that the obscenity of the cards was not disputed and emphasized the definition of obscenity under Section 292(1). The appeal was limited to the severity of the sentence, with the Court rejecting the argument for probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, given the nature of the offense.
