GANESHA vs SHARANAPPA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ganesha under Section 324 IPC for causing injury to the informant with a stick, reversing the trial court's acquittal. The High Court found the trial court's reasoning to be perverse and contrary to the evidence, relying on eyewitness testimonies and medical evidence that corroborated the prosecution's case. The Court emphasized the importance of credible eyewitness accounts in establishing guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
