Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, confirming the High Court's decision while modifying the sentence. The Court found that the appellant's actions, which included brandishing a gun and firing at the complainant, demonstrated the requisite intention to kill. The sentence was adjusted to a custodial term of two years with a fine of Rs. 30,000, which, if unpaid, would result in an additional four years of rigorous imprisonment, with the fine amount designated for the victim's compensation.
