Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 325, 506(2), 333, 342, and 114 IPC, affirming the findings of the lower courts regarding the evidence presented. However, the Court reduced the sentence for the appellants to 1.5 years of imprisonment, focusing solely on the appropriateness of the sentence rather than the conviction itself. The Court emphasized the need for proportionality in sentencing, particularly in cases involving public servants.
