Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304-A IPC for causing death by negligence, affirming the lower courts' decisions. The High Court's reduction of the sentence from two years to one and a half years was deemed justified, with no legal infirmities found in the trial court's order. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the appellant's bail was cancelled, requiring him to serve the remaining sentence.
