Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the sentences of the appellants, who were brokers and bank employees involved in a conspiracy case, to the period already undergone while maintaining their convictions. The Court noted that the main accused had died before trial and that the appellants had faced investigation and trial for approximately two and a half decades. The decision referenced previous judgments, including Ram Narayan Popli vs. CBI and S. Mohan vs. CBI, to justify the modification of sentences in the interest of justice.
