Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's decision which altered the trial court's acquittal of the accused under Section 302 IPC to a conviction under Section 324 IPC for causing injuries. The Court emphasized the need for cogent evidence in criminal cases, noting that the trial court had found the prosecution's evidence lacking. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction under Section 324 IPC, affirming the sentence of rigorous imprisonment for two years and a fine of Rs. 2,000.
