In Brief
Sahib Singh appealed his conviction under IPC Section 326 (causing grievous hurt), arguing he was not named in the original FIR. The High Court had upheld the Trial Court's conviction based on evidence that he possessed a kirpan (dagger) and attacked the deceased. The Supreme Court held that despite the absence from the initial FIR, credible evidence from injured eyewitnesses (Jagir Singh and Bachan Singh) who identified the appellant and his weapon established his guilt. The concurrent findings of both lower courts were deemed reasonable, and the appeal was dismissed."
