Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 304-A IPC for causing death by negligence, affirming the lower courts' findings that the accused drove the bus in a rash and negligent manner, resulting in the death of Thota Satish. The Court noted that the prosecution provided sufficient evidence, including eyewitness accounts, to establish the accused's culpability. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the sentence of six months' imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 4,000.
