Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court reduced the sentence of the appellant from five years to two years rigorous imprisonment under Section 307 IPC, finding the original sentence excessive given the nature of the injuries inflicted, which were primarily minor and occurred 18 years prior. The Court noted that only one injury could invoke Section 307, while the others were simple in nature. The appeal was partly allowed, maintaining other parts of the sentence.
