LABH SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court modified the High Court's judgment regarding the appellants' sentence, considering their advanced ages (82, 72, and 62 years) and the fact that the incident occurred in 1985. The Court held that sending the appellants to jail after 27 years would not serve justice and instead directed them to pay Rs. 1 lakh each to the complainant/injured persons. The sentence was reduced to the period already undergone, and the appeal was partly allowed.
