The appellate court quashed the first-instance conviction for aggravated insult but dismissed charges of bodily injury and other offenses due to the absence of victim complaints. The defense argued that witness testimonies proved mutual conduct, yet the court found the specific acts of pushing and spitting constituted a violation of personal integrity. Consequently, the court upheld the finding of insult while terminating the proceedings for the remaining charges under the relevant procedural provisions.
