Jayaraj vs State Of T.Nadu

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 323 IPC for causing hurt but reduced the sentence to the period already undergone, considering the appellant had served approximately ten months in custody. The Court noted that the High Court had acquitted the appellant of the more serious charge under Section 302 IPC, which reflects a significant reduction in the severity of the conviction. The outcome was a partial allowance of the appeal, focusing solely on the sentence.
