Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 304, Part II IPC for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, establishing that the accused acted with the intention to cause bodily harm leading to death. The Court found that the evidence supported the claim of the accused having caused grievous injuries to the victim, Pal Singh, resulting in his death. The appeals of the convicted accused were dismissed, affirming the lower court's sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine.
