Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant but reduced the sentence of imprisonment to the period already undergone, citing the need for justice in light of the appellant's four months of custody. The Court emphasized that the ends of justice would be served by this reduction, allowing the appellant to be discharged from bail obligations. The decision reflects the Court's discretion in sentencing under the principles of justice and equity.
