STATE OF PUNJAB vs BAWA SINGH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Bawa Singh under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt, affirming the trial court's findings that the prosecution proved the common intention of the accused to inflict injury. The Court noted that the delay in filing the FIR was justified as the complainant was unfit to make a statement immediately after the incident. The High Court's reduction of the sentence to the period already undergone was also upheld, confirming the trial court's conviction but modifying the punishment.
