Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Sanjiv Kumar @ Gora under Sections 395, 450, and 342 IPC for robbery, trespass, and wrongful confinement, affirming the High Court's decision which reduced his sentence from 10 years to 3 years and increased the fines significantly. The Court clarified that the prosecution had established the necessary elements of the offences, including the unlawful entry and robbery of substantial amounts of currency. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lower court's findings and the revised sentence.
