Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 326 and 506 IPC for causing grievous injuries during a fight, confirming the findings of the lower courts. However, considering the nature of the injuries and the time elapsed since the incident, the Court reduced the sentence to the period already undergone, allowing the appellant's release. The judgment emphasizes the importance of the evidence presented by the injured witnesses and the doctor's testimony regarding the injuries sustained.
