7. Text of the section 323 of the Indian Penal Code manifestly makes it clear that imprisonment attracted to Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code is of “either” “or” description i.e. either imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine which may extend to Rs.1000/- (Rupees One Thousand) or both. Applying the said parameter of punishment under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code to the instant case, appellant was convicted under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer imprisonment till rising of Court and there is no dispute about the same. However, after convicting the appellant under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code, he was directed to pay fine of Rs.5000/-(Rupees Five Thousand) in default of payment of fine to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one month, which is beyond prescribed limit. Hence, imposition of fine beyond limit of Rs.1000/- (Rupees one Thousand) deserves to be quashed and set aside.
