Government of Gujarat vs ARJUNBHAI MAGANBHAI KOTVALIYA — 1443/2025

The court convicted the accused under IPC Section 66(1)(b) for voluntarily causing hurt, considering the accused's confession, remorse expressed before the court, and commitment to abstain from similar conduct in future. Instead of imposing the minimum prescribed sentence, the court exercised leniency given the accused's status as the sole earner and family circumstances, sentencing him to imprisonment until rising from court and imposing a fine of ₹50, with 5 days simple imprisonment in default of fine payment.
