The Court acquitted him of the Section 420 charge but upheld convictions under Sections 465 and 471. However, recognizing the complainant's death, close family relations between parties, and 30-year case pendency, the Court replaced the imprisonment sentences with a fine of Rs. 5,000 each (total Rs. 10,000) to be deposited within four months, with default attracting the original sentence.
