The High Court found the Sessions Court's assessment of the prosecution evidence to be cogent and consistent, rejected the appellant's self-defence/provocation claim as unsubstantiated, and held that the appellant's deliberate retrieval and use of a parang causing multiple severe injuries established guilt under section 326; however, in exercise of discretion the court reduced the sentence from seven to six years and set aside the fine after considering mitigating factors (age, first offender, familial responsibilities).
