Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 Part II IPC, affirming the Madras High Court's judgment which found the appellant and others guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The Court noted that the evidence established a clear case of a group attack leading to the death of the victim, Thangaraju, with specific roles played by each accused. The Court confirmed the sentences imposed by the High Court, emphasizing the need for accountability in violent group assaults.
