Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the sentence of the appellant convicted under Sections 365, 395, 411, 412, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, reducing it to the period already undergone, which was nearly 9 years. The Court held that this modification serves the ends of justice while maintaining the fine imposed by the Trial Court. The appeal was disposed of with directions for the appellant's immediate release, subject to the payment of the fine.
