Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the application of Section 427 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, regarding whether sentences for multiple convictions should run concurrently. The Court held that the High Court erred in not allowing the sentences to run concurrently, given the similar nature of the offences. The appeal was allowed, and the sentences were directed to run concurrently, emphasizing the need for judicial discretion in sentencing.
