Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the conviction of the appellants under Section 302/149 IPC and Section 307/149 IPC was not sustainable as the injuries inflicted were not grievous and could have been caused by blunt weapons. The Court set aside the convictions under these sections and instead convicted the appellants under Section 325 IPC. The sentence under Section 148 IPC was upheld, but the Court reduced the imprisonment to the period already undergone, thereby allowing the appeals in part.
