THE STATE OF GUJARAT DATHA POLICE STATION vs LABHUBEN W/O GANESHBHAI JADAVBHAI BAMBHANIYA — 661/2025

OrderView PDF

The court convicted respondent Labhuben under Section 65(a)(a) of the Indian Penal Code 2023 for theft but reduced the sentence from the prescribed minimum to a fine of Rs. 100 with simple imprisonment as alternative, considering her status as the sole breadwinner of a poor family dependent on daily wages. The court applied the established principle that while conviction was warranted, lenient sentencing was justified due to compelling mitigating circumstances affecting her dependents' livelihood.
