The trial court has convicted Jayram and Munshi and sentenced with imprisonment. The trial court has convicted eight persons under Sections 323, 341 and 325 IPC but extended benefit of probation.” 7. The present applicant was on bail during trial and after awarding sentence he was taken in custody and since then he is in custody.

Initially, a charge under section 307 IPC was framed against the applicant but he was found guilty under section 308 of IPC. The maximum sentence awarded is 4 years. We have considered the statement of injured Nahar Singh and also who was examined as PW-13. No doubt about the finding recorded by the trial court that these injuries were caused by stick.
