The court found the prosecution proved all elements of s323 read with s326A beyond reasonable doubt: the accused and victim were spouses, medical and testimonial evidence established injury (minimal bruising to left thigh), accused acted with knowledge or intent likely to cause hurt, and the defence of grave and sudden provocation failed as the alleged scratching and subsequent events were neither grave nor sudden; defence failed to raise reasonable doubt and conviction and sentence were upheld.
