Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant No.1 under Section 304 Part II IPC for causing death due to a sudden fight, affirming the sentence of 5 years. The Court found that the appellants did not exercise the right of private defense as the injuries on the accused were superficial and the evidence did not support their claim of self-defense. The convictions under Section 323 IPC for the other two appellants were also maintained, with sentences of one year each.
