As could be seen .. from "the other attending circumstances, petitioner himself ";:'re.ii'es on the ballistic report, which bears testimony to the fact that revoiver in question was used for firing cartridge. Though it was not in proper working condition but cartridge has been fired. It amounts to homicidal attempt. VI--t___shows attempt of the accused to kiil.
