Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder but modified the sentence to the period already undergone due to the appellant's advanced age and health condition. The Court noted that the appellant, a freedom fighter, was approximately 90 years old and had been in custody long enough to meet the ends of justice. The decision emphasizes the consideration of age and health in sentencing, while affirming the conviction.
