Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 324 and 148 of the Indian Penal Code, while reducing their sentences to the period already undergone, considering the amicable settlement between the parties and the fact that the appellants had served over four months of imprisonment. The Court emphasized that the ends of justice would be served by this reduction, allowing for the release of the appellants. The appeal was disposed of accordingly, with no further orders necessary on the application for impleadment.
