Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Hira Lohar under Section 395 IPC for robbery but reduced his sentence to the period already undergone, considering he had been in custody for about two years. The appeal of Janga Lohar abated due to his death. The Court emphasized the need for justice and expediency in sentencing, allowing the appeal in part while maintaining the conviction.
