Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the Appellants under Sections 326 and 324 IPC for causing injuries to the victim, PW 3, during an altercation. The Court found that the prosecution had proved the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, as corroborated by eyewitnesses and medical evidence. However, considering the circumstances of the Appellants, including the death of Appellant No. 3 and the completion of sentences by Appellants 2 and 4, the Court noted their hardships and health issues, particularly for Appellant No. 1, who suffers from significant medical conditions.
