The court held that an offence under s.323 read with s.326A is non-compoundable and attracts mandatory imprisonment (up to two years for s.323/326A); a good behaviour bond cannot be ordered; PKW was inappropriate due to the defendant's age and infirmity; balancing statutory mandate and mitigating factors (age 66, health, first offender, guilty plea, minor injury to victim and COVID-19 risks), the appropriate sentence was one day imprisonment from date of conviction.
