Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order regarding the Appellant's sentence for offences under Section 323 and Section 325 IPC, reducing it to the period already undergone due to the protracted trial lasting almost 13 years. The Court noted that the Appellant had already served 1 month and 3 days of his sentence and took into account the delay in the trial process. The appeal was partly allowed, and the sentence was adjusted accordingly, while the application for juvenile status was deemed unnecessary.
