Hari Ram vs State Of Uttarakhand

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 324 IPC for causing hurt by dangerous weapons but reduced the sentence from two years to one year of rigorous imprisonment. The Court found that the appellant, a gunman, acted in the heat of the moment to protect an individual from a mob attack, justifying a lesser sentence. The fine imposed was maintained, and the appeal was allowed in part, confirming the conviction while modifying the punishment.
