Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's conviction of the appellants under Section 304 Part-II IPC, reversing the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found no legal infirmity in the High Court's judgment, which concluded that the appellants, police constables, were culpable for the death of Gunda @ Bhuta due to grievous injuries inflicted during an investigation. The appeal was dismissed, and the appellants' bail was cancelled, directing their immediate custody to serve the sentence.
