K.PANDURANGAN vs S.S.R. VELUSAMY

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 exercised its suo moto power of revision under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to set aside the lower appellate court's remission of sentence, which was deemed without jurisdiction. The Court clarified that the maintainability of the revision by the complainant was valid as it pertained to the High Court's inherent powers.
