Iqbal vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of the appellant convicted under Sections 399 and 402 IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959, noting that the incident occurred in 1980 when the appellant was a young boy. The Court considered the satisfactory conduct of the appellant in jail and the absence of any other criminal cases against him. Consequently, the Court limited the sentence to the period already undergone, resulting in the appellant's immediate release.
