The order comes after the top court allowed a review petition by the family of the victim Gurnam Singh.
The apex court had in 2018 held Sidhu guilty of the offence of "voluntarily causing hurt" to a 65-year-old man but didn't sentence him to jail and instead imposed a fine of Rs 1,000.
"We have allowed review application on the issue of sentence. In addition to fine imposed, we impose a sentence of imprisonment of one year to be undergone by respondent 1 (Sidhu)," Sanjay Kishan Kaul said while reading out the operative part, LiveLaw reported.
