Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 366 and 452 IPC, confirming the findings of the Trial Court and the High Court. However, considering the period of custody already served by the appellants, which exceeded three years since the occurrence in 1987, the Court reduced the sentence to the period already undergone. The appellants were subsequently discharged from their bail bonds.
