Case History
Case Summary: State of M.P. v. Dharmendra (Crl.A. No. 1632/2014) The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment that reduced Dharmendra's sentence from 6 months rigorous imprisonment to 8 days (time already served) under Section 304A IPC, finding the High Court's reasoning arbitrary and lacking justification. The Court restored the original 6-month sentence, holding that the High Court had acknowledged imprisonment was warranted but provided no rational basis for reducing it to merely 8 days. Dharmendra was directed to surrender before the trial court within two weeks or face custody to serve the remaining sentence.
