Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the charge under Section 307 IPC, stating that the injuries sustained by the complainant, including a nasal fracture, did not prima facie establish an intention to commit murder. The Court emphasized that while the injuries may constitute grievous hurt under Section 325 IPC, the threshold for Section 307 IPC was not met. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the charge under Section 307 IPC.
