Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether the High Court erred in quashing the charge under Section 304 read with Section 34 IPC against the respondents. The Court held that the High Court's decision to quash the charge was justified as the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against the accused. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order, affirming the quashing of the charge under Section 304 IPC.
