BISHAN SINGH vs STATE

The Supreme Court examined the convictions under Sections 147 and 308/149 IPC, determining that the evidence presented did not sufficiently establish the intention to kill required for a conviction under Section 308 IPC. The Court found that while the injuries were serious, the testimonies did not support the claim of intent to kill, leading to the conclusion that the conviction under Section 308 IPC was not sustainable. Consequently, the Court upheld the conviction under Section 147 IPC but set aside the conviction under Section 308 IPC, resulting in a modified sentence.
