Prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the four elements: (1) accused caused bodily hurt; (2) accused had intention or knowledge his acts would cause hurt; (3) injuries were caused by a blunt instrument (belt) capable of causing serious injury consistent with S.324; and (4) victim was the accused's lawful spouse at time of offence, engaging S.326A to double maximum penalty. Defence evidence (IDD21, IDD20) was either inadmissible or uncorroborated and failed to raise reasonable doubt. Consequently accused was convicted under Section 324 read with Section 326A and sentenced accordingly.
