The High Court allowed the appeal and substituted the 6 years 5 months sentence with the statutory minimum of 5 years because the learned Session Court Judge unjustifiably increased the term by applying section 289 CPC given the appellant's advanced age; the appellant's age and sentencing trends warranted a more lenient sentence balanced against public interest, and the court ordered two years supervision under section 38B DDA.
