Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed Criminal Appeals No. 1870-1871 of 2010 concerning the conviction of the appellant for theft of electricity under relevant provisions. The Court found that the appellant's claim of having undergone eight months of imprisonment was factually incorrect, as he had only served 13 days. The Court emphasized the importance of accurate representations in legal proceedings and clarified that the appellant's misstatement was not intentional. The appeals were disposed of with a directive for proper adherence to factual accuracy in future submissions.
