    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana upheld Satnam Chand's conviction for attempted murder (Section 307 IPC) and illegal firearm use (Section 27 Arms Act) arising from a 2001 shooting incident where he shot his uncle Kharait Lal during a water dispute, causing severe hand injuries requiring amputation. However, the court reduced his sentence to time already served (1 year 4 months 30 days) given the 24+ year delay since FIR registration and his good conduct during suspension, while enhancing the fine to ₹1,00,000 as compensation to the injured party.
