Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court altered the conviction of the appellant from Section 395 IPC to Section 392 IPC, holding that the prosecution failed to establish guilt under Section 395 due to faulty investigation and hostile witnesses. The Court noted that all other accused were acquitted, and the evidence did not support the charges against them. The appellant, having already served seven years in custody, was sentenced to the period already undergone, allowing the appeal to that extent.
