Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Sections 326 and 456 of the IPC, finding sufficient evidence of grievous injury inflicted during a lurking house trespass at night. The Court noted that the appellants attacked the informant's family with brick bats and sharp weapons, resulting in serious injuries, including a skull fracture. The Court confirmed the lower courts' findings on the reliability of eyewitness testimonies and the medical evidence supporting the grievous nature of the injuries sustained by the victim.
