NARESH GIRI vs STATE OF M.P.

The Supreme Court held that the charges under Section 302 IPC were appropriately framed against the appellant, as the evidence suggested a degree of negligence and recklessness in driving that led to the deaths of two passengers. The Court clarified that Section 304-A IPC applies to cases of rash and negligent acts causing death without intent, but if the act demonstrates intent or knowledge likely to cause death, it falls under culpable homicide. The High Court's dismissal of the revision petition was upheld, affirming the applicability of Section 302 IPC in this case.
