Delhi High Court Verdict Modified After Special Leave Petition

The Delhi High Court, on July 10, had upheld Mr. Yadav’s convictions but reduced the custodial term from six months to three months for each of the seven cases and lowered the fine from 1.60 crore to 1.05 crore rupees per case. It also ordered that the fines be paid partially to Messrs Murli Projects Private Limited and partially to the state government. However, the Supreme Court’s acceptance of the Special Leave Petition has now altered the operational effect of that judgment, allowing the actors to avoid surrender pending the mandated deposit.
