RAMESH KUMAR @ BABLA vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court noted that the appellant, armed with a sword, inflicted a blow on the complainant's head, which was deemed grievous. However, the Court found that the evidence did not conclusively establish the severity of the injuries, suggesting that the appellant may only be liable for a lesser charge under Section 326 IPC, thus warranting a reconsideration of the punishment.
