It was alleged that the appellant came back intoxicated, went to the kitchen, took the axe and hit the mother-in-law and the wife resulting in grievous injury to the mother-in-law and simple injury to the wife.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further, the prosecution submitted that, in view of the material contradictions in the testimony of the witnesses, the appellant be acquitted of the charge for offence punishable under Section 307 IPC or in the alternative be released on the period already undergone which is more than half the sentence awarded, i.e., 2 years 10 months including remissions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learned APP submitted that PW-2 and PW-3 were the injured witnesses and hence their evidence stands on a higher pedestal and cannot eb brushed aside.
