Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 395 IPC for robbery, affirming the High Court's decision to enhance the sentence. However, the Court found that the appellant had already served three years and two months in prison, which warranted a reduction of the sentence to the time already served. The Court ordered the release of the appellant if not required in any other case, thus allowing the appeal to that extent.
