SATYAVIR SINGH vs STATE OF U.P.

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 acquittal on the same charge was unsustainable, as the evidence proved the charge beyond reasonable doubt. However, the Court did not interfere with the acquittal under Section 27 of the Arms Act and maintained the conviction under Section 25(1)(a) of the Act, sentencing him to imprisonment till the rising of the Court.
