ORDER 1. Leave granted. 2. The case of the prosecution is that when the informant (PW-1) was returning to her house, the appellant who is arrayed as A-1 alongwith his wife A-2 picked a quarrel with her in relation to cutting of silver trees in their garden. Pursuant to the said oral quarrel, the appellant attacked her with a knife, while his wife assaulted her son on his left hand. The Trial Court, while convicting the appellant for the offences punishable under Sections 324 and 326 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 for the occurrence that happened on 08-06-2009, acquitted his wife. Resultantly, the appellant was sentenced to three years by the Trial Court and the High Court, in turn, has confirmed the same. 3. At the time of issuing notice it was restricted to the question of sentence alone alongwith the possible compensation to the injured persons, if any. However, despite the notice having been served, the informant and her son have not chosen to come before this Court and therefore, we are not willing to go into the issue of question of compensation. 4. On merits, we were not inclined to interfere at the time of admission itself. The occurrence took place on 08.06.2009. It happened pursuant to an oral quarrel. It also happened because of the fact that the complainant made an attempt to cut the silver trees in the garden of the appellant. Both the parties are neighbours. 5. Considering the aforesaid facts, we are inclined to modify the sentence to the one already undergone by the appellant, i.e. 1 year 07 months and 07 days. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed in part. The conviction stands confirmed and the sentence is modified to the one already undergone by the appellant. The appellant is directed to be released forthwith, if not required in any other case. 6. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of.
