The Chhattisgarh High Court set aside the appellant's conviction under IPC Section 398 (armed robbery) because the victim failed to identify which accused actually used the deadly weapon—a requirement established by Supreme Court precedent. However, the court upheld conviction under Section 392 (simple robbery) based on clear eyewitness testimony proving the appellant participated in taking ₹1.50 and a wristwatch through threat of injury, and reduced his sentence to time already served (approximately 4.5 years). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
