JAGDISH vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the six appellants under Section 304 Part-II/149 IPC, confirming the High Court's decision. The Court noted that the evidence of eye-witnesses P.W.1 and P.W.2 was consistent and reliable. However, considering the period already served and the age of appellant Ram Shankar @ Shankari, the Court reduced the sentence to the time already undergone and imposed a fine of Rs. 10,000, with a default clause of one year imprisonment.
