https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183209 Liability for attempt to murder turns on intention or knowledge inferred from the weapon used, the manner of use, the target and surrounding circumstances, not merely on the injuries caused. On the facts, a sudden fight, non-use of the sharp edge and the absence of a clear murderous intent supported rejection of Section 307 liability. Probation of good conduct may be granted where the offender is not shown to be dangerous and the case calls for a reformative approach; that benefit was treated as justified here. Compensation to the injured victim may be awarded even without fine, and must be reasonable, commensurate with the injury and the offender's capacity to pay; the award was enhanced because the victim suffered permanent disability. en-us Mon, 25 Aug 1986 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 11:43:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=183209 Liability for attempt to murder turns on intention or knowledge inferred from the weapon used, the manner of use, the target and surrounding circumstances, not merely on the injuries caused.
