Rajender Singh vs State Of Uttarkhand

The Supreme Court, in the case of Rajender Singh v. State of Uttarakhand, reduced the appellant's sentence under Section 324 IPC from two years to the time already served, which was approximately nine months. The Court considered the long duration since the incident in May 1990 and the time already spent in custody as sufficient grounds for the reduction of the sentence. The judgment emphasizes the principle of proportionality in sentencing, particularly in cases involving long delays in justice delivery.
