RADHEY SHYAM vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Radhey Shyam under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt by acid attack, affirming the lower courts' findings despite the acquittal of his father, Ganga Prasad. The Court noted that the appellant's actions resulted in serious injuries to the victim, Badlu Ram, and emphasized the need for a deterrent sentence. The appeal for leniency was considered but ultimately the conviction and sentence of four years rigorous imprisonment were maintained.
