Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of Daulat Singh and affirmed the alteration of conviction for Kishan Singh and Devilal from Section 307 IPC to Section 326 IPC, reducing their sentence to fines. The Court found that the High Court's decision was justified based on the nature of injuries and the medical evidence presented, which did not support the intent to kill required for a Section 307 conviction. The Court emphasized the importance of the medical evidence in determining the appropriate charge and sentence.
