Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 363 and 366 IPC for kidnapping and abducting a woman, while modifying the sentence to the period already undergone and imposing a fine of Rs. 2,00,000 as compensation to the de facto complainant. The Court noted that the complainant had married another person and expressed no grievances against the appellant, indicating a compromise between the parties. The appeal was allowed in part, confirming the conviction but altering the sentence to ensure justice.
