Jalaluddin vs State Of U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt with a knife, resulting in a fractured nose-bone of the complainant's father. The Court rejected the application for compounding the offence under Section 320 Cr.P.C. as the offence is non-compoundable. However, considering the trivial nature of the incident and the amicable relationship between the parties, the Court reduced the appellant's sentence to the period already undergone, allowing for his immediate release.
