Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 353, 294, and 504 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, confirming the High Court's dismissal of his appeal. The Court found that the appellant, along with another accused, had assaulted a teacher while using abusive language, thereby committing offences against public servants. The Court also noted that the acquittal of the co-accused did not affect the appellant's conviction, leading to the dismissal of his appeal for special leave.
