Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 292 IPC and Section 7 of the Cinematograph Act for exhibiting obscene films, affirming the High Court's dismissal of their revision petition. The Court noted that the appellants, being first offenders, received a modified sentence of one month imprisonment instead of six months, while maintaining the fines imposed. The Court rejected the appellants' plea for probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, emphasizing the need to uphold the law against obscenity.
