In Brief
The appellants were tried for attempt to murder, house trespass, and mischief following an incident on 10 June 2005 where they threw bricks at a house, then attacked the owner's father with sharp weapons, causing grievous injuries. The trial court convicted them under Sections 307, 456, and 427 IPC. The High Court revised the conviction, acquitting them of attempt to murder and mischief but upholding conviction for grievous hurt and house trespass under Sections 326 and 456 IPC. The Supreme Court confirmed these convictions, finding the eye-witness and medical evidence consistent and reliable. It reduced sentences to two years' imprisonment and ₹50,000 fine for grievous hurt, and six months' imprisonment and ₹10,000 fine for house trespass (both concurrent), with all fines directed to be paid to the victim as compensation.
