Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court revisited its earlier judgment in Keshub Mahindra vs. State of M.P., where it quashed charges under Sections 304 (Part II), 324, 326, and 429 IPC, directing charges under Section 304A IPC instead. The Court found that it had erred in ignoring prima facie evidence supporting charges under Section 304 (Part II) IPC, leading to a miscarriage of justice. Consequently, the Court allowed curative petitions to recall its previous judgment, emphasizing the need for a proper trial under the correct charges as per the evidence presented.
