Summary: Crl.A. No. 1326/2003 (V.S. Jayasree v. State of Kerala) On 31 October 2003, the Supreme Court heard V.S. Jayasree's appeal against her conviction under Sections 466 and 468 IPC for forging a Kerala University mark list. The High Court had reduced her imprisonment to 15 days (already served) but imposed a Rs. 1,00,000 fine; Jayasree sought to set aside the fine. The Court rejected this contention but reduced the fine to Rs. 25,000, payable within one month, with default leading to one month imprisonment. The appeal was disposed of.
