Section 307 IPC | Throwing Burning Effigy at Security Room with Occupants Constitutes Attempt to Murder, Even Without Injury or Weapon: Delhi HC
The Delhi High Court ruled that deliberately hurling a burning effigy at a guarded security room, knowing occupants are inside, amounts to attempt to murder under Section 307 IPC - protest intent cannot shield intentional acts likely to cause death. This sets a critical precedent for distinguishing legitimate dissent from lethal aggression in public demonstrations.
