STATE OF M.P. vs KANHIYALAL — Crl.A. No. 264/2007

Summary of Crl.A. No. 264/2007 (State of M.P. v. Kanhiyalal) The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order reducing Kanhiyalal's sentence from 7 years to 6 years for a Section 376 IPC conviction, holding that the High Court's reasoning (case age) was invalid. Since Section 376 IPC prescribes a minimum sentence of 7 years, the Court restored the 7-year sentence. Kanhiyalal's bail was cancelled, he was directed to surrender before the Sessions Judge at Chhattarpur, M.P., and the fine was reduced to Rs.2,000/-.
