Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's decision that had set aside the convictions of the respondents under Sections 304/34, 147, and 323 IPC, as well as Section 24 of the Cattle Trespass Act, 1871. The Court held that the evidence presented, including the critical injuries sustained by the victims, warranted the convictions, emphasizing the application of Section 304 IPC concerning culpable homicide. The Court reinstated the trial court's judgment, affirming the respondents' guilt and the appropriateness of the sentences imposed.
