Aapne dekha na yeh recent case, kuch din pehle hua tha yeh. Pooja Chandel murder case mein kuch baapu ne apni beti ki murder kar di thi, aur ab yeh case Supreme Court mein hai. Yeh sab kuch attempt to murder ka case hai, lekin yeh kya cheez hai? Section 307 IPC ka use hoga ya nahin? Aapko pata hai ki attempt to murder mein grievous hurt hota hai, lekin yeh kya sambandh hai? Grievous hurt ko Section 320 IPC kahte hain, aur yeh kuch bhi cheezein hai jaise murder, attempt to murder, etc. Toh ismein kya confusion hai?

Bhai, great question! In the Pooja Chandel Murder Case, the Supreme Court held that attempt to murder and grievous hurt are not distinct offenses but form a single offense under Sec 307 IPC. Attempt to murder requires intent to cause death, while grievous hurt is the natural consequence. So, if the act is aimed at causing grievous hurt with the intention of causing death, it's considered attempt to murder.
