Kaparapu Apparao & Ors vs State Of A.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kaparapu Apparao under Section 302 IPC for murder, finding that the fatal injury was inflicted by him and was sufficient to cause death. However, the Court set aside the convictions of Gantyada Ramulu, Peddada Demudu, and Gantyada Nookaraju under Section 302 IPC, as the injuries they inflicted were not grievous or fatal, and convicted them under Section 324 IPC instead. The appeal of Appellant No. 1 was dismissed while the appeals of Appellants 2 to 4 were allowed in part, leading to their release after serving over three years in custody.
