DEVI CHARAN vs STATE OF U.P. — Crl.A. No. 1350/2008

On August 25, 2008, the Supreme Court allowed Devi Charan's appeal against his conviction, modifying his sentence from five years to three years imprisonment. The Court found that since all co-accused persons received three-year sentences and there were no distinguishing features justifying the harsher sentence imposed on Devi Charan, the disparity was not rational and required correction.
