In Brief
Abhijit Das appealed his conviction and sentence under Section 324 IPC (voluntarily causing hurt). The Supreme Court confirmed the conviction but modified the sentence in the interest of justice. Having found that the appellant had already undergone approximately three months of imprisonment, and considering the nature of the injury and surrounding circumstances, the Court reduced the sentence to the period already served, effectively allowing the appeal on the question of sentence alone.
