The case was originally filed in the Trial Court, which acquitted Navjot Singh Sidhu and the co-accused. The Punjab & Haryana High Court overturned the acquittal, convicting Sidhu under Section ... 304 Part II IPC and sentencing him to three years in prison. Sidhu appealed to the Supreme Court, which reduced the conviction to Section 323 IPC and imposed only a ₹1,000 fine. A review petition was later filed in the Supreme Court, seeking an enhancement of his sentence.
