casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court granted leave and set aside the Allahabad High Court's order that had upheld Prakash's conviction under Section 376 IPC (6 years imprisonment) and Section 452 IPC (3 years) but reduced the sentence to time already served. Finding the High Court's reasoning incomprehensible, the Court accepted the accused's submission that he was misled by an earlier High Court judgment on plea bargaining. The Court remitted Criminal Appeal No. 228/80 back to the Allahabad High Court for reconsideration on merits by a Single Judge at an early date. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
