Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304 Part II IPC, affirming that they had been found guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The Court noted that the appellants had already received leniency in their sentencing and therefore declined to interfere with the lower court's decision. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the appellants were ordered to be taken into custody to serve the remainder of their sentence.
