Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, overturning the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found that the High Court correctly identified flaws in the Trial Court's reasoning, particularly regarding the credibility of eyewitnesses. The appellant's argument that the evidence was insufficient to establish the offence was rejected, affirming the two-year rigorous imprisonment sentence imposed by the High Court.
