Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court modified the sentence of the appellants convicted under Section 306/34 and Section 498A/34 IPC, reducing the imprisonment under Section 306/34 from four years to two years while maintaining the one-year sentence under Section 498A. The Court considered the advanced age and health conditions of the appellants, emphasizing that the ends of justice would be served by this reduction. The appeal was partly allowed, and the Court ensured that the State would provide necessary medical aid to the appellants in jail.
