Ramu vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's judgment in Criminal Appeal No.678 of 1980, where the appellant was initially convicted under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC. The Court held that the prosecution failed to establish the charge under Section 302 IPC, leading to the appellant's acquittal from that charge. However, the Court confirmed the conviction under Section 304 IPC, establishing that the appellant's actions constituted culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and upheld the sentence of imprisonment for life.
