The manner in which occurrence took place may enlighten more than the prudential escape of a victim.\u00a0 It is thus not necessary that a victim shall have to suffer an injury dangerous to his life, for attracting Section 307 IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to ascertain whether the requirement of \u2018motive\u2019 is indispensable for proving the charge of attempt to murder under Section 307 IPC, the Court explained that \u2018motive\u2019 is distinct from \u2018object and means\u2019 which innervates or provokes an action. <em><strong>Unlike \u2018intention\u2019, \u2018motive\u2019 is not the yardstick of a crime.<\/strong> <\/em>A lawful act with an ill motive would not constitute an offence but it may not be true when an unlawful act is committed with best of the motive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In <strong>Shivaji Genu Mohite v. State of Maharashtra, (1973)\u00a03\u00a0SCC\u00a0219<\/strong> and <strong>Bipin Kumar Mondal vs. State of West Bengal, \u00a0(2010)\u00a012\u00a0SCC\u00a091<\/strong>, the Supreme Court had held that,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cin case the prosecution is not able to discover an impelling motive, that could not reflect upon the credibility of a witness proved to be a reliable eyewitness. Evidence as to motive would, no doubt, go a long way in cases wholly dependent on circumstantial evidence. Such evidence would form one of the links in the chain of circumstantial evidence in such a case. But that would not be so in cases where there are eyewitnesses of credibility, though even in such cases if a motive is properly proved, such proof would strengthen the prosecution case and fortify the court in its ultimate conclusion. But that does not mean that if motive is not established, the evidence of an eyewitness is rendered untrustworthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court, hence, concluded that absence\u00a0of\u00a0motive\u00a0alone\u00a0cannot\u00a0abjure\u00a0the\u00a0guilt\u00a0of\u00a0the accused under Section 307 of IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Surinder Singh v.
