Section 307 IPC | Conviction Requires Proven Intent via Weapon and Circumstances, Not Just Injury Severity : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that mere physical injury, even if grievous, cannot sustain a conviction under Section 307 IPC without clear evidence of intent to kill inferred from the weapon used and the surrounding circumstances. This sets a critical precedent for prosecutors and defense counsel, requiring more than injury assessment to prove attempted murder.
