Ali Hasan @ Mallah vs State Of Uttarakhand

The Supreme Court modified the sentence under Section 376 IPC from ten years to the prescribed minimum of seven years, emphasizing that neither the Trial Court nor the High Court justified the original sentence. The Court held that the ends of justice would be served by this modification while maintaining the sentence under Section 506 IPC. The appeal was partly allowed, with the sentences ordered to run concurrently.
