Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to modify the sentence of the appellants under Section 307/149 IPC from seven years to five years, affirming the convictions under other sections. The Court reiterated that for a conviction under Section 307 IPC, the intention to kill must be established, and the degree of injury inflicted is a significant factor. The Court found that the High Court's reduction of sentence was justified based on the circumstances of the case.
