Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 1485/2003 – PUSAI v. STATE (NCT) OF DELHI Outcome: The Supreme Court partly allowed the appeal on February 4, 2004. The appellant's conviction for offences under Sections 324 and 452 IPC was upheld, but the sentence was reduced to the period already undergone (1 year 5 months 15 days). The fine imposed was set aside, and bail bonds were discharged. Facts: The appellant stabbed a tenant (PW-2) on October 8, 1993, during a tenancy dispute. Witness PW-3 identified the appellant running from the victim's house. Lower courts convicted him and sentenced him to 2 years imprisonment under Section 324 and 3 years under Section 452 (both concurrent). Reasoning: The Court found the conviction justified but deemed the original sentence excessive given the time already served in custody.
