The Supreme Court today slashed an 18-year jail sentence given to a UP man for electricity theft to two years, saying that "the liberty of a citizen would be abrogated" if this wasn't done. It also said the High Court should already have "noticed the serious miscarriage of justice".
The man in jail, identified only as Iqram, is set to walk free as he has already served three years, after a trial court had sentenced him to nine jail terms of two years each to run consecutively.
