Amit Rana @ Koka vs The State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC for attempted murder, confirming the evidence supporting their guilt. However, the Court limited its review to the sentence imposed, questioning whether a term exceeding ten years is permissible under Section 307 IPC. The Court clarified that while imprisonment for life is applicable if hurt is caused, the maximum term for mere attempt to murder is capped at ten years unless life imprisonment is warranted, thus ruling that the 14-year sentence was not justified.
