Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of six appellants under Section 304 Part-II/149 IPC for their involvement in a homicide, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court noted that the convictions were supported by consistent eyewitness testimony from Roop Lal and Satrohan. However, considering the time already served and the age of one appellant, the Court reduced their sentences to the period already undergone and imposed a fine of Rupees ten thousand each, with a default clause for further imprisonment.
