Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the charges under Section 302 IPC were correctly framed by the High Court, as the appellant's actions demonstrated a level of negligence and recklessness that could amount to culpable homicide. The Court clarified that Section 304-A IPC applies only when there is no intention to cause death, and that the appellant's conduct, particularly ignoring warnings from passengers, indicated a disregard for safety. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to uphold the charges against the appellant.
