In Brief
In this criminal appeal, the Supreme Court examined the conviction and sentence imposed for causing grievous injury (IPC sections 324, 326) and related offences. While upholding the Trial Court's conviction as confirmed by the High Court, the Court found the sentence and compensation excessive. The Court partly allowed the appeal by reducing the sentence to the period already undergone and proportionally reducing the compensation awarded, with a two-month payment deadline. The conviction itself remained undisturbed."
