Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of communal violence leading to the death of Rajunath and injuries to Narish Chandra, with the accused charged under Section 302 and 307 IPC. The trial court acquitted the accused due to lack of cogent evidence, but the High Court overturned this decision, convicting the accused under Section 324 IPC for causing injuries. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction, emphasizing the need for accountability in communal disturbances and the application of appropriate legal provisions.
