Bishnupada Sarkar & Anr vs State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Section 304 Part I read with Section 34 IPC for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the deceased's death resulted from injuries inflicted by Madhav Sarkar, instigated by Bishnu Sarkar, during an altercation over public nuisance. The appeal focused on the quantum of sentence, with the Court considering the age and health of Bishnu Sarkar but ultimately maintaining the ten-year rigorous imprisonment sentence imposed by the Trial Court.
