Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Jagdish Chander under Section 304-A IPC for causing death by negligence, affirming the lower court's finding that the appellant's sudden turn without signaling led to a fatal accident. The Court emphasized that negligence is established when a driver fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to others. The appeal was dismissed, and the sentence of six months rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 500 was maintained.
