SABA @ HUSSAIN vs STATE OF M.P. — SLP(Crl) No. 6755/2001

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition filed by Saba @ Hussain on 26 November 2001. Hussain's conviction under Section 379 IPC for snatching Rs. 1,71,000 from a bus passenger (caught red-handed) had been upheld in appeal and by the High Court in revision, which had reduced the sentence from three years to eighteen months considering his first-offender status. The Court rejected Hussain's argument that Section 360 Cr.P.C. should have been applied, finding the High Court had already considered this provision when reducing the sentence.
