Issues for consideration
3 issues framed by the court
Whether the omission of the appellant's name in the initial FIR, which was recorded when the injured was conscious, establishes a benefit of doubt necessitating acquittal.
Whether the participation of the appellants in throwing bricks and the presence of bloodstains on their clothing proved their common intention to cause grievous hurt.
Whether the failure of the appellants to produce the injured at an earlier clinic or medical records undermines the prosecution case regarding their assault.
