Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant by the Trial Court and the subsequent confirmation by the Sessions Court, dismissing the appeal for lack of infirmity in the lower court's orders. The High Court's reduction of the sentence from two years to one and a half years was deemed justified. The Court ordered the cancellation of the appellant's bail bonds and directed immediate custody to serve the remaining sentence.
