Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's judgment which modified the conviction of the accused under Section 307 IPC to Section 324 IPC, reducing their sentence from 10 years to 2 months. The Court held that the evidence presented did not support the charge of attempted murder under Section 307 IPC, thus affirming the High Court's decision to acquit the accused of Section 452 IPC and modify the conviction. The Court emphasized the need for clear evidence to establish intent to kill in cases involving grievous injuries.
