SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
GANPAT – Appellant
Versus
THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH – Respondent
Leave granted. Keeping in view the fact that the appellant – Ganpat is more than 71 years of age; there is no document as to the hospitalization; and the injuries suffered do not appear to be substantial or serious in nature, we are inclined to modify the order of sentence passed by the trial court1 and confirmed by the High Court2, to the period already undergone by the appellant – Ganpat. We have already dismissed the appeal preferred by Babulal, the main perpetrator, vide order dated 02.01.2024. The impugned order of punishment qua the appellant – Ganpat is accordingly set aside and the appeal is partly allowed, reducing the period of sentence to the one already undergone. 1 Dated 02.05.2023 passed by the Court of Additional Sessions Judge-II, Sarangpur, District Rajgarh, Madhya Pradesh in Sessions Trial No. 64/2019 @ First Information Report No. 0321 dated 11.07.2019 registered with police station – Sarangpur, District Rajgarh, Madhya Pradesh for the offence(s) punishable under Sections 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
