Commandant 20 Bn Itb Police vs Sanjay Binjola

The Supreme Court held that the appellate court exceeded its jurisdiction by directing that the conviction and sentence of the respondent, a constable under the Central Reserve Police Force Act, 1949, would not adversely affect his service career. The Court emphasized that such decisions regarding service consequences post-conviction are reserved for appropriate authorities, not the criminal court. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reaffirming the limits of the appellate court's powers under Section 386 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
