Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 326, 331, 343, and 346 IPC for illegal detention and custodial torture of the victim, Bishamber Dayal. However, considering the lengthy duration since the incident in 1992 and the advanced age of the appellants, the Court reduced their sentence from two years to the period already undergone. The Court emphasized that this decision is based on the unique facts of the case and should not be treated as a precedent.
