Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of convictions under Sections 323 and 324 read with Section 34 of the IPC, upheld by the High Court, which imposed fines and default imprisonment on the appellants. The appeal challenged the findings of guilt and the sentences awarded. The Court analyzed the evidence and legal provisions, ultimately affirming the lower courts' decisions. The judgment reinforces the principles of criminal liability under joint acts and the appropriateness of fines with default sentences.
