Judgment text excerpt
The High Court of Madhya Pradesh altered the conviction of the appellant from Section 307 IPC to Section 324 IPC, sentencing him to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment instead of 7 years. The Court held that the evidence did not support a charge of attempted murder under Section 307 IPC, but did establish the infliction of injury under Section 324 IPC. The fine of Rs. 2,000, with Rs. 1,500 payable to the widow of the deceased, was upheld.
