Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 307 IPC read with Section 34 IPC for attempted murder, affirming the High Court's sentence of seven years' rigorous imprisonment. The Court found sufficient evidence, including the testimony of the injured witness and medical opinion, to justify the conviction. The Court also confirmed the conviction under Section 25 of the Arms Act, imposing an additional two-year sentence, while rejecting the appellants' plea for modification to Section 325 IPC.
