Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellant under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, reversing 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 Court emphasized that the evidence presented by the injured witness was sufficient to establish the appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt, affirming the two-year sentence imposed by the High Court.
