Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 325 IPC for causing grievous hurt but modified the sentence from three years rigorous imprisonment to the period already undergone, considering the appellant's one year of custody. The Court emphasized that the ends of justice would be served by reducing the sentence while maintaining the conviction. The appellant was discharged from bail obligations following the modification of the sentence.
