RAGHU @ RAGHAVBHAI VASHRAMBHAI vs STATE OF GUJARAT

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304(II) IPC, sentencing them to 45 months rigorous imprisonment and fines. However, considering the peculiar circumstances, including the time elapsed since the incident in 1988 and the compensation paid to the deceased's wife, the Court reduced the sentence of appellant No. 2, Ghanshyam, to the time already served. The appeal was dismissed for appellant No. 1, Raghu, who had completed his sentence.
