Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Nagaraja Rao under Section 381 IPC for theft and Section 52 of the Indian Post Office Act, 1898, confirming the lower courts' decisions. The Court ruled that the sentences for both offences would run concurrently, allowing for the appellant's immediate release if he had already served the sentence. This judgment clarifies the application of concurrent sentencing in cases involving multiple convictions.
