Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a suit for damages filed by the widow and minor daughter of Surinder Singh, who was killed by gunshot injuries. The court held that the defendants, Suba Singh and Shingara Singh, were liable for wrongful death under Section 304 IPC, as Suba Singh exceeded his right to private defense. The court affirmed the lower court's ruling, awarding damages to the plaintiffs, emphasizing the need for accountability in cases of wrongful acts leading to death.
