supreme court case law under sec 307...

there is any case law of supreme court on ''the single injury under sec 307'' in the favour of accused

Quick Summary

This discussion explores Supreme Court case law concerning Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code, specifically focusing on instances where a single injury might be relevant for granting bail to an accused. It clarifies that an offence under Section 307 can be made out even if only simple hurt is caused, provided there was an intention or knowledge to cause death. The number of blows is less important than proving the intent to cause death.

Hello,
Please refer to this case Rambabu vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 1 April, 2019

Here is the link,

https://indiankanoon.org/doc/49757466/

Relevant Paragraph

and ''if hurt is caused to any person by such act, the offender shall be liable either to imprisonment for life, or to such punishment as is herein-before mentioned. Attempts by life convicts.-- When any person offending under this section is under sentence of imprisonment for life, he may, if hurt is caused, be punished with death.'' Thus, for making out an offence under Section 307 of IPC, it is not necessary that until and unless an injury which dangerous to life is caused to the victim, no offence under Section 307 of IPC would be made out. If a simple hurt is also caused with an intention or knowledge to cause death of the victim, then the said act is sufficient to punish the accused for an offence under Section 307 of IPC.
