Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 34 read with Section 307 IPC for attempted murder, affirming that the intention to kill can be established without the necessity of inflicting grievous bodily harm. The Court emphasized that common intention among co-accused was evident from their collective actions and statements made during the incident. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of three years imprisonment was maintained, rejecting the appellant's arguments regarding the nature of injuries and his role in the crime.
