Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Section 406 IPC, finding the Trial Court's order of acquittal to be perverse. The Court noted that the appellant had been in custody since March 2000 and, in the interest of justice, reduced the sentence to the period already undergone. Consequently, the appeal was allowed in part, and the appellant was discharged from bail obligations.
