The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision to reduce the salary of a judge for procedural misconduct. The judge argued that the reduction was unjustified given the nature of the error, while the prosecution contended it was a necessary disciplinary measure. The court determined that the procedural violation warranted a salary adjustment but deemed the lower court's specific calculation incorrect, leading to an increase.
