Bishan Singh & Anr vs The State

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of Bishan Singh and Govind Ballabh under Sections 147 and 308/149 IPC, where the trial court had relied on the First Information Report and testimonies of witnesses. The Court found that the prosecution failed to establish the requisite intent to kill as required under Section 308 IPC, noting that the evidence did not support the claim of intention to cause death. Consequently, the Court set aside the conviction under Section 308 IPC while upholding the conviction under Section 147 IPC, leading to a modified sentence.
