Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellants under Section 307/34 IPC for attempted murder, which was based on circumstantial evidence. The Court found that the High Court failed to adequately consider the evidence presented by the defense, particularly regarding the delay in lodging the FIR and inconsistencies in the victim's testimony. Consequently, the Supreme Court held that the prosecution had not established its case beyond reasonable doubt, leading to the acquittal of the appellants.
