Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the acquittal of the accused in a murder case where the Trial Court had convicted three of them under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt. The Court held that the prosecution failed to establish the charge of murder under Section 302 IPC, leading to the acquittal of the accused for that charge. However, the conviction under Section 326 IPC was upheld, affirming the lower court's decision to impose a sentence of rigorous imprisonment and a fine.
