Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304 Part I IPC read with Section 34 IPC, affirming the lower courts' findings that the accused inflicted injuries leading to the deceased's death, albeit not on vital organs. The Court emphasized that the statements of the deceased, recorded under Section 32(1) of the Evidence Act, were admissible and sufficient to establish the connection of the accused with the crime. The sentence of 7 years rigorous imprisonment was also upheld, confirming the lower courts' decisions.
