Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 411 IPC for possession of stolen property, affirming the findings of the Rajasthan High Court and the Sessions Court. The Court noted that the prosecution had established the necessary ingredients for the offence, particularly through the testimony of the Investigating Officer regarding the recovery of stolen articles at the appellant's instance. The appeal for reduction of sentence was dismissed, as the courts had properly appreciated the evidence and concluded the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
