Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 304 IPC for causing the death of Ramayan Prasad due to negligent firing during a marriage ceremony. The Court found that the evidence presented, including eyewitness accounts, sufficiently established the appellant's involvement in the incident. The appeal against the life sentence and fine imposed was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
