Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Subramani against his conviction under Section 304 Part-II IPC, following a High Court reversal of a Trial Court acquittal. The Court held that the High Court correctly found Subramani's involvement in the murder of Tamilvendhan, despite the hostility of some witnesses, as the evidence supported his culpability. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to impose a three-year sentence, considering the incident arose from a sudden quarrel and the appellant's personal circumstances, while acquitting the other accused under Section 149 IPC.
