Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 304 Part II, 325, and 447 IPC, affirming the Gujarat High Court's decision that set aside the trial court's acquittal. The Court established that the prosecution had successfully proven the ingredients of the offences, including the intent to cause death or grievous hurt, and that the injuries inflicted were a direct cause of the victim's death. The sentences of rigorous imprisonment were confirmed to run concurrently, emphasizing the gravity of the assault leading to death.
