Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Satyavir Singh under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, confirming the three-year rigorous imprisonment sentence imposed by the Assistant Sessions Judge. The Court found that the High Court's decision to acquit him of the charges under Section 27 of the Arms Act was justified, while also affirming his conviction under Section 25(1)(a) of the Arms Act. The Court ruled that the evidence presented proved the charge under Section 307 IPC beyond reasonable doubt, thus allowing the State's appeal against the acquittal.
