Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court analyzed the conviction under Sections 302 and 307 IPC, determining that the High Court correctly applied Exception 1 to Section 300 IPC, leading to a conviction under Section 304 Part-I IPC and Section 308 IPC instead. The Court upheld the High Court's findings that the incident arose from an altercation and scuffle without prior enmity, justifying the lesser charges. The sentences of 10 years and 2 years were affirmed, along with fines imposed for each count.
