Krishan Lal & Anr vs State (U.T. Chandigarh)

The Supreme Court reduced the sentences of the appellants convicted under Sections 332 and 333 IPC, holding that after nearly three decades since the incident, it was not necessary to delve into the merits of the case. The Court determined that the ends of justice would be served by reducing the sentences to the period already undergone by the accused. Consequently, the bail bonds of the appellants were discharged, and the appeals were disposed of accordingly.
