We found no other Supreme Court judgment we hold that cites this one.
Counted only in the Supreme Court judgments we hold whose text we could read, not in High Court judgments. We match each citation to a judgment automatically, so a citation we cannot match is not counted. "Cited" says only that a judgment refers to this one, not whether it followed, distinguished or overruled it.
The Court's text
Paragraphs from our copy of the Supreme Court Reports print, with the Court's own paragraph numbers, the printed page and, where printed, the margin letter. The Court did not number this judgment's paragraphs, so they are listed by page. Link to paragraph N with #para-N.
As directed by the Court, the Registry issued notice to the standing counsel for the state of Himachal Pradesh, but no appearance has been entered so far. Nobody has appeared also.

The appellants have been convicted under ss.451, 426 read with s.34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo two m0nths imprisonment. The High Court postponed the sentence under s.4 of Probation of Offender's Act subject to filing an undertaking of good conduct. Since the appellants had not executed the under taking, the High Court dismissed the appeal. Thus, this appeal by special leave.

They have also filed an affidavit in this Court giving · an undertaking that they would keep good conduct for a period of one year. We accept the undertaking and state that they shall remain on probation for a period of one year from today. If they keep good conduct and behaviour during this period, they shall be deemed to have served the sentence.
