Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's judgment regarding the appellants' sentence, considering their advanced ages of 82, 72, and 62 years, and the 27-year delay since the incident in 1985. The Court held that sending them to jail would not serve the ends of justice and instead directed each appellant to pay Rs. 1 lakh to the complainant/injured persons, to be deposited within two weeks. The sentence was reduced to the period already undergone, and the appeal was partly allowed.
