Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the conviction under Section 308 IPC, which pertains to the attempt to commit culpable homicide. The Court held that the sentence of two years' rigorous imprisonment imposed by the trial court was appropriate given the nature of the injuries inflicted and the circumstances of the case. The Court confirmed the conviction of Jameel while acquitting Dastgir, thereby upholding the High Court's decision to dismiss Jameel's appeal against the conviction and sentence.
