Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 324 IPC for causing grievous hurt with a knife, affirming the trial court's findings based on the testimony of the injured witness and corroborating evidence. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims of animosity affecting witness reliability, as the FIR was lodged promptly after the incident. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the revision application was rejected, confirming the one-year rigorous imprisonment sentence.
