Kharak Singh vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court, in Criminal Appeal No. 715 of 2011, modified the sentence of the appellant Kharak Singh from 5 years to 2.5 years based on a supposed compromise between the parties. The Court held that such a compromise warranted a reduction in the sentence, ultimately dismissing the appeal with the modified sentence. This decision underscores the Court's discretion in sentencing in light of reconciliation between parties.
