RAVI KAPUR vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of Ravi Kapur under Section 304-A IPC, stating that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was driving the bus rashly and negligently, leading to the fatal accident. The Court emphasized the necessity of establishing the accused's identity as the driver and the manner of driving to hold him liable under the said section. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's judgment that there was insufficient evidence to convict the accused.
