Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellant under Section 411 of the IPC for receiving stolen property, which was upheld by the High Court. The Court initially limited its review to the quantum of sentence but later expanded to consider the conviction itself. Ultimately, the Court found merit in the appellant's arguments and overturned the conviction, emphasizing the need for clear evidence linking the appellant to the stolen property.
