The Court held the January 1954 general amnesty on formation of Andhra State remitted only the sentences and did not wipe out the convictions, and that the Article 311(2) proviso permits dismissal on the ground of conduct leading to a criminal conviction. Since the officers had withdrawn their criminal appeals as not pressed, the Court held the convictions stood finally upheld and set aside the single Judge orders quashing the dismissals. The judgment does not name the station, district, victim, or offence date. Matters not addressed in the cited judgment text are not recorded here.",
