Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, emphasizing the necessity of corroborative evidence alongside eyewitness testimony. The Court noted that the dying declaration of the victim, Atul, was not substantiated due to the absence of the recording Magistrate as a witness, leading to doubts about its authenticity. Ultimately, the Court affirmed the High Court's decision to convict the accused based on the eyewitness account, establishing that credible eyewitness testimony can suffice for conviction under Section 307 IPC.
