Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court found that the High Court failed to properly appreciate the evidence and misapplied the law in convicting the accused under Section 323 IPC. The Court emphasized that leniency in sentencing should not be based solely on the potential impact on the accused's employment. Consequently, the Supreme Court remitted the case back to the High Court for a thorough examination of the merits and evidence, ensuring a fair adjudication process.
