Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Sections 324 and 323 IPC, affirming that the injuries inflicted during the quarrel were serious and dangerous to life, thus justifying the charges. The Court emphasized that the use of a knife in the altercation constituted a grave offense, and the High Court's confirmation of the lower court's decision was deemed appropriate. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the principle that serious bodily harm in a public altercation warrants stringent legal consequences.
