Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC for attempt to murder and Section 323 read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision to reduce the sentence for one appellant from ten years to seven years. The Court noted that the injuries inflicted on the victim were severe, resulting in the amputation of both hands, and that the evidence provided by the victim and his brother was credible and consistent. The Court also addressed the procedural concerns regarding the FIR, ultimately finding no merit in the defense's arguments against the prosecution's case.
