Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the convictions under Section 302 and Section 304 of the IPC in the context of a violent altercation leading to the death of the victim, Daddu. The Court held that the evidence supported the conviction under Section 302/149 IPC for the four surviving accused, affirming the life sentences imposed by the lower courts. The Court emphasized the need for a clear distinction between murder and culpable homicide not amounting to murder, ultimately upholding the trial court's decision.
