George Pon Paul vs Kanagalet & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 326 and 452 IPC for causing grievous hurt and house-trespass, respectively. The Court found that the trial court's imposition of only a fine was inadequate, emphasizing that a custodial sentence is mandatory under Section 326 IPC. Consequently, the High Court's enhancement of the sentence to two years of rigorous imprisonment was affirmed, maintaining the conviction while dismissing the appellant's revision petition.
