RAJESH @ RAJU PRAVINDHANDRA SONI vs STATE OF GUJARAT — Crl.A. No. 794/2006

Case Summary: Rajesh @ Raju Pravindhandra Soni v. State of Gujarat (Crl.A. 794/2006) The Supreme Court allowed the appellant's appeal on 25 July 2006. The appellant was convicted in eight separate cases for selling cars with altered registration numbers and sentenced to concurrent sentences under various IPC sections (420, 467, 468, 471, 120B). The High Court had refused to grant Section 427 CrPC benefit (concurrent sentencing across all cases), but the Supreme Court reversed this, directing that the appellant be granted Section 427 benefit so all sentences run concurrently, bringing him into parity with his co-accused who received this benefit at trial.
