Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 326 read with Section 34 IPC, stating that the injuries inflicted were grievous and caused by sharp-edged weapons, thus not amounting to an attempt to murder under Section 307 IPC. The Court noted that the High Court's reduction of sentence to the period already undergone was justified based on the nature of the injuries. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
