ABDUL JABBAR vs THE STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court modified the sentence of the Appellant convicted under Section 323 and Section 325 read with Section 34 IPC, originally sentenced to 1 year and 3 months, respectively, by the Trial Court. The High Court had upheld the conviction but reduced the sentence due to a 13-year delay in trial. The Supreme Court further reduced the sentence to the period already undergone, which was 1 month and 3 days, considering the protracted nature of the trial and the age of the underlying incident from 2010.
