Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to convert the appellant's conviction from Section 307 IPC to Section 324 IPC, affirming that no error of law was committed. Considering the appellant's advanced age of 92 years and his medical condition, the Court reduced the sentence to the period already undergone, which was approximately five weeks. The appeal was allowed to this extent, and the bail bonds were discharged.
