Maqbool vs The State Of Uttar Pradesh

The Supreme Court addressed whether an injury classified as simple can invoke charges under Section 326A IPC concerning acid attacks. The Court clarified that Section 326A specifically pertains to grievous hurt caused by acid, and if the injury is merely simple, it does not meet the threshold for this section. Consequently, the Court held that charges under Section 326B, which deals with attempts to throw acid, may be applicable if the intent to cause harm is established, but not under Section 326A if the injury is not grievous.
