NATHOO LAL vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 304 Part II IPC, confirming the High Court's modification of the sentence from eight years to five years. However, considering the age of the appellants, who are now over 65 years and have already served about nine months, the Court reduced the sentence further to three years of rigorous imprisonment. The appeal was dismissed with the modified sentence, retaining other parts of the original sentence.
