SEENA @ SRINIVASA vs STATE OF KARNATAKA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Seena @ Srinivasa under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt, while reversing the High Court's acquittal of accused no. 3 under Section 302/34 IPC. The Court clarified that the evidence presented established the involvement of the accused in the attack on the deceased, and the modification of conviction from Section 302 to Section 326 was deemed inappropriate. The Court emphasized the need for consistent application of the law regarding grievous hurt and murder under the IPC.
