Girish Singh vs State Of Uttaranchal

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 Part II IPC, affirming that the act of pushing the deceased from the road constituted culpable homicide, as it involved intention or knowledge likely to cause death. The Court clarified that Section 304A IPC, which pertains to death caused by negligence, was not applicable since the evidence indicated a deliberate act rather than mere negligence. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal was rejected, maintaining the five-year imprisonment sentence and fine imposed by the Trial Court.
