Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Razia Khan against her conviction under Sections 333, 353, and 451 of the IPC. The High Court had reduced her sentence to six months for each offence, and the appellant sought probation due to her age and the lengthy duration of the trial. The Court ultimately considered the circumstances and granted her the benefit of probation under the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958.
