Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 409 IPC for embezzlement but modified the sentence. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the conviction as it was concurrent in nature but deemed it just to reduce the jail term to the time already served and increase the fine from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000. The appellant is required to pay the enhanced fine to avoid further imprisonment of 3 months.
