Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court altered the conviction of the appellant from Section 302 IPC to Section 326 IPC, citing inconsistencies in witness testimonies and the nature of injuries sustained by the deceased. The Court noted that while the evidence of PW8 was accepted, the appellant was not convicted for injuries inflicted on another victim, raising concerns about the trial court's findings. The appellant was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment, with the Court stating that he had already served this term, leading to his immediate release unless required in another case.
