Aimless Firing Not Made Pointing To Any Person Is Not Attempt To Murder: Rajasthan High Court

The Rajasthan High Court ruled that aimless firing at a shop, intended to assault a specific person who was not present, does not constitute an attempt to murder. The court was hearing an appeal against charges framed under Section 307 IPC. The court noted that the firing did not target any individual, including the informant, and thus did not meet the criteria for attempt to murder. The court set aside the charges and directed the competent court to re-read the charges against the appellant, emphasizing the need for clear intent and target in such cases.
