Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to acquit the respondents of the offence under Section 307 IPC, stating that the medical evidence indicated that the injury was simple and did not support the use of excessive force required to establish an attempt to murder. The Court found that the High Court's reduction of the conviction to Section 323 IPC was justified based on the evidence presented. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
