Sompal Singh & Anr vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Kunwar Pal Singh under Section 304-I IPC, affirming the High Court's decision which modified the trial court's sentence. The Court noted that the appellants were initially convicted under multiple sections including Sections 148, 323, 324/149, and 302/149 IPC, but the High Court acquitted them of the latter. The Court dismissed the appeal of Sompal Singh as infructuous due to the completion of his sentence, while confirming the ten-year rigorous imprisonment for Kunwar Pal Singh under Section 304-I IPC for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
