Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court reduced the appellant's sentence under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC from three years and six months to two years of rigorous imprisonment, citing weak evidence regarding the appellant's direct involvement in the crime. The Court noted that the injuries suffered by the informant were not caused by the appellant's firearm and that the incident occurred in 1993, with evidence presented after an eight-year delay. The Court held that the revised sentence would serve the ends of justice.
