Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 201 IPC for their involvement in the concealment of evidence. However, the Court reduced the sentence from three years of rigorous imprisonment to the period already undergone, considering the appellants had served approximately eight months in custody. The Court emphasized that this reduction serves the ends of justice while maintaining the conviction.
