Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined whether the respondent should be convicted under Section 304 Part II IPC or if the High Court's conviction under Section 304 A IPC was appropriate. The Court held that the respondent's actions constituted gross negligence leading to the death of six individuals, affirming the High Court's decision under Section 304 A IPC. The Court emphasized that the respondent's failure to assist the injured after the accident further established his culpability.
