Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's judgment that the respondent Jora Ram was guilty of the offence under Section 304 Part II IPC, rather than Section 302 IPC, due to insufficient evidence proving intent to kill. The Court noted that the injuries on the deceased were simple and did not establish that they were sufficient to cause death. The appeal by the State of Rajasthan was dismissed, affirming the High Court's findings and the acquittal of the co-accused under Sections 302, 324, and 323 IPC read with 34 IPC.
