MANOHAR SINGH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's decision which set aside the conviction of the accused under various sections of the IPC except for Section 323 IPC, for which probation was granted. The Court held that the Sessions Court erred in granting probation and not adequately compensating the appellant, who suffered multiple injuries, including grievous ones. The Court emphasized that the nature and number of injuries warranted a more stringent punishment and proper compensation under Section 357 of the CrPC.
