Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Bombay High Court's order that acquitted the accused under Sections 324 and 452 read with Section 34 IPC, emphasizing that the trial court's conviction was based on credible evidence including medical reports and eyewitness accounts. The Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the conviction without sufficient justification, thus reinstating the trial court's decision and sentencing the accused to one month simple imprisonment and a fine. The judgment underscores the importance of evaluating evidence in light of the gravity of the offenses committed.
