Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 406 IPC for criminal breach of trust, finding the High Court justified in overturning the Trial Court's acquittal due to its perverse reasoning. The Court noted that the appellant had already served three months in custody and reduced the sentence to the period already undergone, thereby allowing the appeal in part. The appellant was discharged from bail obligations following this decision.
