K.Pandurangan vs S.S.R.Velusamy & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 420, 477(a), 468, and 409 read with Section 109 IPC, affirming the trial court's sentence of 5 years rigorous imprisonment. The Court ruled that the High Court correctly set aside the lower appellate court's remission of sentence, emphasizing that the jurisdiction to grant remission was not within the appellate court's authority. The Court also clarified that the High Court's power of revision under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is not diminished by the revision being initiated by a complainant.
