Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to enhance the sentences of the appellants under Section 325 read with Section 34 IPC for causing grievous hurt. The Court found that the High Court was justified in its assessment that the trial court's sentence of six months was lenient given the severity of the injuries sustained by the victim, Bapu. The appeal was dismissed as the Court found no grounds to interfere with the enhanced sentence of two years' rigorous imprisonment imposed by the High Court.
