What is this about?
Revision petition seeking release of a convict sentenced for driving-related offences causing death. Court upheld the conviction as affirmed on appeal but, considering the accused had served over four months in custody, the incident being about 26 years old, no prior convictions and poor financial condition, reduced the enhanced sentence to that already undergone and ordered his release.
What did the court decide?
Sentence reduced to time already undergone; petitioner ordered released on the undergone sentence; record returned to lower court with copy of decision.
