STATE OF M.P. vs NEBU LAL — Crl.A. No. 541/2013

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed the State of Madhya Pradesh's appeal and set aside the High Court's order that had reduced Nebu Lal's sentence. Nebu Lal was convicted under Section 377 IPC for committing an offense against a 12-year-old boy and originally sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment with a Rs. 1,000 fine. The High Court had reduced this to "time already served" (42 days) plus Rs. 2,000 compensation, but the Supreme Court found this reduction unjustified and reinstated the original two-year sentence. The respondent was directed to surrender within eight weeks to serve the remaining imprisonment period. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
