Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Ishwar Singh under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the trial court's finding that he attacked the victim, Devi Singh, with a knife. The Court noted that while the other accused were acquitted due to lack of evidence, the appellant's guilt was established beyond reasonable doubt. The sentence of three years rigorous imprisonment and a fine was deemed appropriate, and the appeal was dismissed, directing the appellant to surrender to serve his sentence.
