This document contains the original judgement from the Supreme Court of India in the case of Jugal Kishore Prasad vs. State of Bihar, dated 16 August 1972. It addresses whether a young offender, convicted under Section 326 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, can claim the benefit of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958. The judgement clarifies that the Act's benefits are not available for offences punishable with life imprisonment, even if a lesser sentence is imposed. This is a crucial read for legal practitioners and students studying criminal law and the interpretation of the Probation of Offenders Act.
