Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that in cases where the conviction is upheld, the sentence already undergone by the accused can be deemed adequate and sufficient for justice to be served. The Court emphasized the importance of balancing the interests of justice with the rights of the accused, leading to the disposal of the Criminal Appeals accordingly. This ruling reinforces the principle that the duration of imprisonment already served may suffice in certain circumstances, even when a conviction is maintained.
