IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 375 OF 2002
SATISH OMPRAKASH GUPTA & ORS.APPELLANTS
vs.
STATE OF MAHARASHTRARESPONDENT
O R D E R
Having heard learned counsel for the parties, we are satisfied that the
conviction so far as Omprakash Banarasdas Gupta and Kaushalya Omprakash
Banarasdas Gupta - Appellant Nos. 2 and 3 are concerned, cannot be maintained in
view of the unsatisfactory nature of the evidence. So far as appellant No.1-Satish
Omprakash Gupta is concerned, we find that the courts below have analyzed the
evidence correctly to find him guilty. However, the sentence is reduced to six months
on each count.
The appeal is allowed to aforesaid extent.
The bail bonds for the purpose of grant of bail, so far as appellant Nos.2 and
3 are concerned, shall stand discharged. The appellant No.-1 shall surrender to
custody forthwith for undergoing the remaining period of sentence.
