(Oral) This petition for leave to appeal is directed against the judgment of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, (Fast Track Court), Kullu, H.P., decided on 21.3.2007.

The accused filed an appeal and the learned Sessions Judge vide the impugned judgment has upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 279 IPC, but has acquitted him for having committed offence under Sections 337 and 338 IPC. The conviction under these sections has been set aside on the ground that no doctor has been examined nor any Medico Legal Certificate proved on record to prove what were the injuries and the nature of injuries sustained by the injured persons. It is quite evident that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove by leading cogent medical evidence what were the nature of injuries, if any, suffered by the injured. The order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge calls for no interference. The petition for leave to appeal is accordingly rejected. January 8, 2008(K) ( Deepak Gupta ), J. 3
