MOSAFIR YADAV . vs STATE OF BIHAR — Crl.A. No. 430/2004

The Supreme Court heard Mosafir Yadav and two others' appeal against their conviction under Sections 324 and 323 read with Section 34 IPC for causing injuries to Ram Briksh Yadav. The trial court sentenced them to three years rigorous imprisonment, which the High Court of Patna upheld. The Supreme Court found that the injuries were of simple nature (contrary to medical evidence of grievous injury) and that the appellants had already spent 11 and 9 months in jail respectively. The Court confirmed the conviction but set aside the sentence, directing immediate release of all three appellants if not required in any other case (April 2, 2004).
