Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the Appellant under Section 304 Part II IPC, affirming that the prosecution proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court found no grounds to reduce the sentence further or grant the benefit of Section 5 of the United Provinces Borstal Act, 1938, given the leniency already shown by the High Court with a 5-year sentence. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, and the Appellant was ordered to be taken into custody to serve the remaining sentence.
