SULTAN SINGH Vs. STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

Decided On April 04, 1988
SULTAN SINGH Appellant
V/S
STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Special leave granted limited to the question of sentence only. Having regard to the several features of this case including the fact that the appellant has married the prosecutrix as stated by the learned counsel for the appellant, we feel that the sentence imposed on the appellant should be reduced to the sentence of imprisonment already undergone by him. We accordingly modify the judgment of the High court insofar as the question of sentence is concerned.

(2.) The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
