Sahib Singh vs The State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt, affirming the concurrent judgments of the Trial Court and the High Court. The Court noted that the appellant was identified by eyewitnesses, including the complainant, and that his possession of a kirpan during the attack was established. The High Court's decision to impose a sentence commensurate with the time already served and to award compensation of Rs. 20,000 was also upheld, confirming the legal principle that eyewitness testimony can substantiate a conviction even if the accused was not named in the FIR initially.
