Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 307, 325, 324 read with Section 34 IPC for causing grievous injuries during a dispute over land. The Court emphasized that the right to private defense does not extend to causing death or grievous hurt when the threat is not imminent. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision which modified the sentence but confirmed the conviction.
