Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Rakesh Bahal under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the seven-year sentence, while also convicting Neelam Bahal and Raj Bahal under Section 307/34 IPC with a two-year sentence each. The Court found the testimonies of witnesses PW.2 and PW.3 credible, despite minor discrepancies, and rejected the defense's claims regarding the lack of evidence against Neelam Bahal. The Court emphasized that the injury inflicted was dangerous to life, thus justifying the convictions under the respective sections of the IPC.
