J.A.M. ROSS vs INSPECTOR OF POLICE, SPE, CBI, MADRAS — Crl.A. No. 1411/2003

Summary of Crl.A. No. 001411/2003 (J.A.M. Ross v. Inspector of Police, SPE, CBI, Madras) On 19 October 2010, the Supreme Court heard the appeal and dismissed it with sentence modification. Appellant A.4 had been originally sentenced to 3 years RI under Prevention of Corruption Act sections and IPC sections 409/420. Considering the 32-year delay since the 1978 incident, the appellant's age (78 years), and that only 110 days were served, the Court reduced all sentences to 6 months RI, running concurrently. A companion appeal (Crl.A. No. 1412/2003) regarding appellant A.2 was similarly dismissed with sentences reduced to 3 months RI.
