#discharge under CrPC

Gujarat High Court discharged an accused under Section 307 IPC, ruling that a 30-month delay in filing the FIR, absence of injury, and lack of direct evidence of intent to kill failed to establish a prima facie case. The judgment reinforces that mere suspicion or rash driving does not suffice for attempt to murder charges without proof of mens rea.

Calcutta High Court holds that Section 308 IPC charges cannot stand without corroborative medical evidence; discharge granted where doctor's certificate is silent on administration of harmful substances.

Bombay High Court holds that discharge under Section 227 CrPC is valid if prosecution evidence is insufficient, even if accused's documents were considered. Key precedent on burden at discharge stage.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that Section 307 IPC does not require actual injury; intent and circumstances suffice to frame charges. Key precedent on discharge standards clarified.
