                                             State of Madhya Pradesh

                                        Criminal Appeal No. 246 of 1981

                                                      06.03.1981

                                                        ORDER

1. Special leave granted to Jora.

2. We think that having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case and
particularly in view of the fact that Jora is about 76 years old and he was not guilty of any avert act
in strangulating the deceased Jagrani and he has been in jail for about 19 months. It will meet the
ends of justice if the sentence imposed on Jora is reduced to that already undergone by him. We
accordingly allow the appeal so far as Jora is concerned and reduce the sentence imposed on him
that already undergone and direct that he be set at liberty forthwith.
