Under Indian law, it is possible to seek a reduction in punishment for a person convicted under Section 406 (criminal breach of trust). This can be done through various legal avenues, such as applying for bail, seeking a pardon from the President, or appealing the sentence in a higher court.

I was wrongly handcuffed by Punjab Police during a dowry case in January 2010. This was recorded in the Daily Diary Report. The investigating officer admitted to this under oath in court in June 2015, but couldn’t explain why. I filed a complaint in the Punjab & Haryana High Court in November 2015, but it was dismissed due to a time limit. However, I read in the Times of India that the Supreme Court allowed a similar complaint against Bihar Police involving a Navy officer who was illegally handcuffed. The Patna High Court initially dismissed it due to the time limit, but the Supreme Court issued a notice stating that there’s no time limit for such cases. Could you please share the details or case number of that Supreme Court case so I can file my own complaint? Thank you.
