The appellant and the other three accused were convicted under section 306 and 326 of the Indian
Penal code. The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by the other three accused.
But the appellant is aged 90 so considering the age and physical condition of the appellant the
Supreme Court adopts this case. The Supreme Court reduces the sentence of the appellant to the
period exceeding two months already undergone by him on a condition that he will pay the fine
imposed on him within four weeks from today and in case of default of payment of fine he will
undergo simple imprisonment for three months.
