Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 307 IPC for attempt to murder, affirming that the appellant's actions constituted a clear intent to kill as evidenced by the severe injuries inflicted on the victim, an Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police. The Court emphasized that the nature and location of the injuries, along with the use of a deadly weapon, supported the charge of attempted murder. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings and the sentence imposed.
