Case History
Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 001868/2013 - Shakuntal @Sonpati v. State of U.P. The Supreme Court heard the petitioner's special leave petition on 25/10/2013, challenging the High Court's conviction under Section 304-B IPC with a mandatory 7-year minimum sentence. The petitioner sought sentence reduction citing her advanced age (82 years). The Court dismissed the petition, holding that the minimum sentence prescribed by law could not be reduced regardless of age, and found no grounds for interference.
