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 in a public setting. The Court noted that the appellants were not habitual offenders but found no grounds to modify the sentence to probation under Section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition, maintaining the modified sentence of one month imprisonment and fines imposed by the Sessions Judge.
